Cold War Mega-Plant Is Propped for Reuse

摘要

After nearly eight years, cleanup crews are about to wrap up one of the largest decontamination and decommissioning efforts in the Dept. of Energy's former Cold War-era nuclear weapon production complex. By May, 5 million sq ft of DOE's massive gaseous diffusion plant at Oak Ridge, Tenn., will be clean, emptied of more than 50 year of nuclear wastes and contaminated components and ready for a new life as the reinvented East Tennessee Technology Park.
