Ceremony Marks Achievement
The Portsmouth/Paducah Project Office (PPPO)
held a ceremony at the Portsmouth Gaseous
Diffusion Plant on July 27, 2007 to recognize
completion of a major cleanup action with the
removal of more than 49,000 containers of
hazardous and mixed waste from the X-7725
building and
the availability for turnover of
the facility from DOE
to USEC Inc. for industrial reuse
by the
commercial centrifuge program.
The cleanup action reduced more than 20,000 tons
of waste generated from the nearly 50 years of
uranium enrichment operations formerly at the
plant and from cleanup activities conducted
since the early 1990s. The volume of waste
removed from the building would cover a football
field nearly 14 feet deep.
LATA/Parallax, DOE's environmental remediation
contractor, removed the last containers from the
building on May 31, 2007 to free up the more
than 265,000 square feet of storage space.
