Removal of radioactive materials, via railroad cars, from the Newfield site began in mid-October 2019. As of December 9, 80 railcars of material (soils/sediment) have been shipped from the site. Removal of this material is in compliance with the Decommissioning Plan approved by the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection (NJDEP) in early 2017.

While material is being removed for off-site disposal daily, Shieldalloy and its qualified contractors continue to prepare and package additional material to ensure the regular and efficient loading of the rail cars.
