Locals suggested a nearby gaseous diffusion plant may be to blame.
A school in Ohio has been forced to close for the remainder of the academic year after enriched uranium was discovered inside. Neptunium 237—a byproduct of nuclear reaction and plutonium production—was also detected inside Zahn's Corner Middle School in the town of Piketon, around 80 miles east of Cincinnati, WLWT reported.
The state department of education explained that the affected students have already fulfilled their necessary classroom hours for the year so will not need to make up the missed days once the uranium issue has been addressed. The statement said the department is “committed to the safety, health and protection of our workforce, the general public and the environment at all our sites.” Officials said the Department of Energy is planning to commission an “independent third party to perform an additional analysis of the air and ground readings to properly assess the situation.” The statement noted that the department is “confident that those findings will allay any cause for further concern.
