Albany Metallurgical Research Center

1450 Queen Avenue, S.W. , Albany , Oregon

Albany Research Center, owned by the U.S. Bureau of Mines, is located in Albany, Oregon. Metallurgical research was conducted at this site for the U.S. Atomic Energy Commission and the Energy Research and Development Administration from 1948 to 1978. Radioactive materials, including thorium and uranium, contaminated buildings, equipment, and soils.

The U.S. Bureau of Mines remediated portions of the site from 1948 to 1978. DOE conducted additional remediation of buildings, equipment, and soils under FUSRAP in 1987, 1988, 1990, and 1991. In 1992, DOE certified that, with the exception of areas where supplemental limits were applied, applicable cleanup criteria had been achieved, and the site was released for unrestricted use.

No institutional controls are in effect at the site, and DOE does not require on-site monitoring or surveillance. Legacy management activities consist of managing site records and responding to stakeholder inquiries.
