Paducah Gaseous Diffusion Plant
Site Overview
The Paducah site is located on 3,400-acres owned by the Department of Energy,
and located in rural western Kentucky, 15 miles west of Paducah, Kentucky near
the Ohio and Mississippi rivers.
Site Descriptions
For approximately 50 years, the Portsmouth Gaseous Diffusion Plant in
Portsmouth, Ohio and the Paducah Gaseous Diffusion Plant in Paducah, Kentucky
supported Federal Government and commercial nuclear power missions. These
operations produced contaminated areas onsite and beyond site boundaries.
Presently, the sites are transitioning from primarily enrichment operations to
shared missions with environmental cleanup, waste management, depleted uranium
conversion, deactivation and decommissioning, re-industrialization, and
long-term stewardship.
The current end state completion baseline date for Paducah is 2030.
