The New York State Energy Research and Development Authority (NYSERDA) owns the 3,300-acre Western New York Nuclear Service Center (also known as the Center or West Valley site) in the Town of Ashford in Northern Cattaraugus County, NY. The Center was the location of a spent nuclear fuel reprocessing operation in the 1960s and 1970s that resulted in contaminated buildings, below-ground tanks, soil, sediment, and groundwater. Site operations at that time also included the disposal of significant quantities of radioactive waste in two onsite disposal facilities, including a commercial facility called the State-Licensed Disposal Area. In 1980, Congress directed the U.S. Department of Energy, in cooperation with NYSERDA, to conduct the West Valley Demonstration Project to solidify the site's high-level radioactive waste and decontaminate and decommission certain parts of the Center.
NYSERDA's eleven-member team at West Valley is responsible for representing NYSERDA's interests in the West Valley Demonstration Project and for directly managing the State-Licensed Disposal Area. NYSERDA staff also manage the Retained Premises, a generally undeveloped portion of the Center with low levels of environmental contamination.

The Retained Premises, a largely undeveloped 3,100-acre tract of land with low levels of contaminated environmental media licensed under 10 CFR Part 50 as part of a 1960s license for a Production (Reprocessing) Facility. That reprocessing facility was shut down in 1972 and is now being decontaminated, demolished, and decommissioned by the US Department of Energy's West Valley Demonstration Project.
Additional responsibilities include:
Prepare Radiation Safety Hazard Evaluations considering environmental conditions (soil, sediment, water, and ambient radiation levels), process knowledge, past practices, and other pertinent information to identify radiation work controls, including PPE, dosimetry, bioassays, respiratory protection, and engineering and administrative controls needed to conduct work in compliance with state and federal regulations and ALARA.
Independently perform health physics calculations to determine the need for dosimetry, task-specific monitoring, respiratory protection, or engineering controls.
