- Finding type
- abatement_record
- Finding
- MARAD's License Termination Plan documents that asbestos insulation was removed from components in the containment vessel as a prerequisite for the 2019-2020 radiological characterization campaign.

- Population
- DECON contractor personnel performing ACM removal
- Limitations
- Licensee's own federal filing; ship-specific and direct. Scope is limited to the components characterized in that campaign - does not itemize original installed quantities or ACM elsewhere aboard.

[2]MARAD, Nuclear Ship Savannah License Termination Plan, ADAMS ML23298A041 [marad_nrc]
- Locator
- LTP S 2.3.8
- Finding type
- abatement_record
- Finding
- A 2022 detailed survey of engine-room steam, condensate, and feedwater systems included removal of asbestos-containing insulation materials as a prerequisite activity.

- Population
- DECON contractor personnel performing ACM removal
- Limitations
- Ship-specific abatement record. Does not itemize original installed quantities and does not establish that all ACM aboard was removed.

[3]MARAD, Nuclear Ship Savannah License Termination Plan, ADAMS ML23298A041 (shipbreaking end-state analysis) [marad_nrc]
- Locator
- LTP shipbreaking end-state / remediation-worker scenario section
- Finding type
- regulatory
- Finding
- The LTP's shipbreaking end-state analysis treats asbestos removal as a defined first work phase: the remediation-worker scenario covers removal of fuels, oils, PCBs, asbestos, and combustible materials from components and pipes before cutting.

- Population
- Prospective shipbreaking remediation workers
- Limitations
- Forward-planning analysis, not a finding of current quantities; confirms residual ACM is presumed pending final disposition. Does not establish exposure for any individual.

[4]Library of Congress, HAER DC-64, N.S. Savannah (recordation 2007-2018) [haer]
- Locator
- HAER DC-64 written history (LOC item dc1047)
- Finding type
- asbestos_application
- Finding
- Savannah was built 1958-61 at New York Shipbuilding, Camden, with a conventional steam auxiliary plant alongside the nuclear plant - peak-era marine asbestos use for insulation, gasketing, and deck/bulkhead materials.

- Study period
- 1958-1961
- Population
- Construction trades (1958-61); operating crew (1962-70)
- Limitations
- Class-era inference from build date, yard, and steam-plant type; the LTP does not itemize original installed asbestos. Not hull-quantified; does not establish what remains aboard.

- Finding type
- regulatory
- Finding
- NRC noticed its environmental assessment/FONSI for the Savannah LTP on Dec 30, 2024; the ship is under DECON with reactor pressure vessel removed Nov 8, 2022 (disposed at EnergySolutions, Clive UT) and a statutory license-termination deadline of Dec 3, 2031.
