The Office of Environmental Management leveraged the results of years of successful work in 2021 to launch a new era for the U.S. Department of Energy’s cleanup mission, all while continuing to manage the challenging conditions of the COVID-19 pandemic.
DOE is awarding a sole source contract to EHI Consultants, Lexington, KY, a HUBZone certified small business to provide support services for the citizen advisory boards & site-specific advisory boards for Portsmouth and Paducah gaseous diffusion plants.
EM’s Paducah Site is constructing a key facility in the cleanup of the former gaseous diffusion plant.
Since the inception of the EM program in 1989, the Paducah Site has made notable achievements in groundwater cleanup, waste removal, and other work advancing its environmental cleanup mission following more than 60 years of uranium enrichment operations.
Workers at EM’s Paducah Site are set to begin constructing a state-of-the-art material sizing area (MSA) in the C-333 Process Building to downsize large components.
For the first time, workers at EM’s Paducah Site are able to closely examine the primary source of off-site groundwater contamination directly underneath the C-400 Cleaning Building.
EM’s Paducah Site recently transferred approximately 210,000 gallons of electrical insulating oil to support economic development in the region.
Workers at EM’s Paducah Site recently relocated personnel and operations from 129,800 square feet of space in the C-720 Maintenance and Storage Building to prepare for future deactivation of the large structure.
