NEW HAVEN The remediation of the former United Nuclear Corp. site in New Haven, located on Shelton Avenue in Newhallville, has been completed, according to a Friday announcement from the Department of Energy and Environmental Protection.
Officials said the “site was utilized by the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) to conduct research and make nuclear fuel components for the U.S. Navy from the mid-1950s until 1974, playing a key role during the Cold War.”
“Environmental cleanup was conducted at the time the facility closed, however the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) reviewed the cleanup in recent years and determined that additional cleanup was needed. Final remediation work at the site began in October 2019 and concluded in late 2020,” officials said.
