Download as PDF Federal Register / Vol. 72, No. 16 / Thursday, January 25, 2007 / Notices findings for potential residual beryllium contamination. Appendix B–3 describes each facility evaluated for residual beryllium contamination, the data reviewed as a part of this evaluation, and the final findings. V. Conclusions The findings of this study are: (1) Some atomic weapons employer facilities and beryllium vendor facilities have the potential for significant residual radiological and beryllium contamination outside of the periods in which weapons-related production occurred. (2) For the purposes of this report, NIOSH believes that facilities having ‘‘significant contamination’’ had quantities of radioactive material that ‘‘could have caused or substantially contributed to the cancer of a covered employee with cancer.’’ (3) The documents reviewed did not indicate the existence of a current, unrecognized occupational or public health threat.
