This panel focuses on the DOE-EM Portsmouth/Paducah Project Office (PPPO), which manages the Portsmouth, Ohio and Paducah, Kentucky former Gaseous Diffusion Plant sites. For the Portsmouth D&D Project, DOE and regulators recently approved plans for controlled demolition of the massive gaseous diffusion process buildings and related facilities, along with construction of an onsite waste disposal facility. For the Paducah Deactivation Project, PPPO is continuing its groundwater remediation program while stabilizing and deactivating its process buildings and facilities in preparation for future D&D. Demolition of the final inactive from Paducah's pre-shutdown cleanup scope waste completed in June 2015.
