  • Executive Summary
    DOE/PPPO/03-0862&D1 FBP-ER-RCRA-WD-RPT-0288 Revision 3 January 2019 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY PURPOSE This Annual Site Environmental Report is prepared to summarize environmental monitoring and compliance activities conducted at the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Portsmouth Gaseous Diffusion Plant (PORTS) for calendar year 2017. Environmental monitoring is conducted to assess the impact, if any, that site operations may have on public health and the environment. The report fulfills a requirement of DOE Order 231.1B, Environment, Safety and Health Reporting, for preparation of an annual summary of environmental data to characterize environmental management performance. The Annual Site Environmental Report also provides the means by which DOE demonstrates compliance with the radiation protection requirements of DOE Order 458.1, Radiation Protection of the Public and the Environment. SITE AND OPERATIONS OVERVIEW PORTS, which produced enriched uranium via the gaseous diffusion process from 1954 to 2001, is one of three uranium enrichment facilities originally built in the United States; the other two were constructed in Oak Ridge, Tennessee and Paducah, Kentucky, respectively. PORTS is located on 5.9 square miles in Pike County, Ohio. The county has approximately 28,270 residents (U.S. Census Bureau 2018). DOE is responsible for decontamination and decommissioning (D&D) of the gaseous diffusion process buildings and associated facilities, environmental restoration, waste management, depleted uranium hexafluoride (DUF6) conversion, and management of other non-leased facilities at PORTS. DOE contractors Fluor-BWXT Portsmouth LLC (FBP), Portsmouth Mission Alliance, LLC (PMA), Mid-America Conversion Services, LLC (MCS), and BWXT Conversion Services, LLC (BWCS) managed DOE programs at PORTS in 2017.

    The U.S. Department of Energy Welcomes You to the Portsmouth Site 2 SITE OVERVIEW The Site’s CurrentCurrent SiteSite OperationsOperations Changing Mission The DOE Portsmouth site (PORTS) is located in Pike County, Ohio, in south central Ohio approximately 20 miles north of the city of Portsmouth, Ohio. PORTS was one of three large gaseous diffusion plants initially constructed in the 1950s to produce enriched uranium to support the nation’s nuclear weapons program and later enriched uranium used by commercial nuclear reactors. Decades of uranium enrichment included the use of special industrial chemicals and materials. Plant operations generated hazardous, radioactive, mixed (both hazardous and radioactive), and nonchemical (sanitary) wastes. Past operations also resulted in soil, groundwater, and contamination at several sites located within plant boundaries. Today, several missions are under way at the site including decontamination and decommissioning (D&D) of inactive and unneeded facilities, environmental remediation, depleted uranium hexafluoride conversion (DUF6), as well as uranium enrichment activities through Centrus Energy Corp’s American Centrifuge Plant (ACP).

The Company is also Fueling the Future. demonstrating next-generation enrichment technology, the American Centrifuge, in Piketon, Ohio, with plans to Making the World Safer. operate a commercial plant there later this decade. Approximately half of USEC’s low-enriched uranium is from recycled Russian nuclear warhead material, eliminating more than 8,000 nuclear warheads thus far. Nuclear power plants using this fuel generate about 10 percent of America’s electricity. Uranium enrichment is a key step in the production of nuclear fuel used around the globe to generate 16 percent of the world’s electricity, and more reactors are being built today. Nuclear power is the clean-air answer to the growing ANNUAL REPORT 2003 demand for electricity, and USEC is leading the way. Our Global Customers— USEC supplies 160 reactors in 9 countries.
