The Nuclear Regulatory Commission said Monday it has terminated the license at the Department of Veterans Affairs’ research reactor in Omaha, Neb.,, following decommissioning of the unit.

The Alan J. Blotcky Reactor Facility operated from June 1959 to November 2001 for neutron activation of biological samples and training needs for the Fort Calhoun Nuclear Generating Station. NRC staff has conducted the necessary inspections and confirmatory analyses to terminate the license and release the site for unrestricted use.
