    Portsmouth DUF6 Conversion Final EIS

    Affected Environment 3-1 Portsmouth DUF6 Conversion Final EIS 3 AFFECTED ENVIRONMENT This EIS considers the proposed action of building and operating a conversion facility at the Portsmouth site for conversion of the Portsmouth and ETTP DUF6 cylinder inventories. Section 3.1 presents a detailed description of the affected environment for the Portsmouth site. Because the option of shipping cylinders from the ETTP site in Oak Ridge, Tennessee, to the Portsmouth site for conversion is part of the proposed action, a detailed description of the affected environment for the ETTP site is provided in Section 3.2. 3.1 PORTSMOUTH SITE The Portsmouth site is located in Pike County, Ohio, approximately 22 mi (35 km) north of the Ohio River and 3 mi (5 km) southeast of the town of Piketon (Figure 3.1-1). The two largest cities in the vicinity are Chillicothe, located 26 mi (42 km) north of the site, and Portsmouth, 22 mi (35 km) south. The Portsmouth site includes the Portsmouth Gaseous Diffusion Plant (PORTS), a gaseous diffusion plant previously operated first by DOE and then by USEC. Uranium enrichment operations at PORTS were discontinued in May 2001, and the plant has been placed in cold standby, a nonoperational condition in which the plant retains the ability to resume operations within 18 to 24 months (DOE 2001c). The Portsmouth site occupies 3,714 acres (1,500 ha) of land, with an 800-acre (320-ha) fenced core area that contains the former production facilities. The 2,914 acres (1,180 ha) outside the core area includes restricted buffers, waste management areas, plant management and administrative facilities, gaseous diffusion plant support facilities, and vacant land (Martin Marietta Energy Systems, Inc.

  • Historic Context

    Historic Context

    3.0 HISTORIC CONTEXT 3.1 Overview of Ohio, 1940–1950 During World War II, Ohio experienced significant industrial development and population growth. The state’s diversified industrial base and geographical proximity to transportation routes and other population centers made it well suited for wartime production needs. The industrial development and consequential economic prosperity generated during World War II shaped Ohio’s economic, cultural, and social history for decades thereafter. The United States resisted involvement in World War II from 1939 through much of 1941. Even as the Axis powers swept through Europe and eastern Asia, American isolationists insisted that the U.S. had no key interests at stake. At President Franklin D. Roosevelt’s urging, Congress enacted a “cash and carry” policy in 1939, allowing the U.S. to supply goods to any nation that could pay cash and carry the goods away (Knepper 2003:367). While providing great assistance to Great Britain and its allies, the program also offered economic benefits to the U.S., which remained enmeshed in the Great Depression. More importantly, it began the process of shifting American industries to a wartime footing. In September 1940, Congress established the first peacetime military draft in the nation’s history. The Ohio National Guard was activated and designated the 37th Division. Guard units traveled to Camp Shelby, Mississippi, for training. In Columbus, Fort Hayes served as a reception center for military draftees and recruits and was staffed by 2,000 troops in its own right (Fort Hayes Metropolitan Education Center 2010). Roosevelt, a Democrat, handily won Ohio in the November 1940 presidential election, but Republicans dominated the state government and the Congressional delegation.
