This panel features DOE’s Portsmouth/Paducah Project Office (PPPO), which is responsible for management and cleanup at the Portsmouth, Ohio and Paducah, Kentucky former Gaseous Diffusion Plant sites. Portsmouth is focused on initial phases of D&D of the plant – principally legacy structures and disposition of process gas equipment. Paducah is focused on soil and groundwater remediation while negotiating the change in operational status of the USEC-leased enrichment facilities and preparing for future D&D. Both sites are ramping up production at their DUF6 conversion plants. DOE recently announced negotiations for potential continued use of selected Paducah facilities and sale of some of its DUF6 inventory.

Panelists include:  Vince Adams, Director, US DOE Portsmouth Site; Dennis Carr, Site Project Director, Fluor B&W Portsmouth (FBP); Mark Duff, Program Manager, LATA KY Paducah; and Kent Fortenberry, Chief Engineer, B&W Conversion Services (BWCS).
