An Ohio middle school was closed Monday because enriched uranium was detected inside the school and neptunium-237 was detected by an air monitor next to it
Are we safe? That's the concern that's been in the back of neighbors' minds when they look at the looming Portsmouth Gaseous Diffusion Plant in Pike County, Ohio, Jennifer Chandler said.
"It looks like they make clouds there," the Piketon village councilwoman thought as a child, seeing steam coming out of the stacks."When I was growing up, I didn't have any idea what they did." The US Department of Energy plant was built to produce enriched uranium for the nation's nuclear weapons program during the Cold War and, in later years, supported commercial nuclear reactors.
Both the school district and the Pike County Health Department urged the agency to stop construction on the disposal facility at the plant.However, US Assistant Secretary of Energy Anne White, who discussed next steps with the health district on Friday before the school closing, said that until the agency has better data, it would not stop construction work.
