• Paducah enrichment and support facilities were leased to USEC
Inc. in 1994.
• In April 2014, USEC stopped enrichment operations.
• In August 2014, USEC formally submitted a letter to PPPO
announcing its intention to return its leased facilities, including
PAL, back to DOE.

Accomplishments
Deactivation and Environmental Remediation
• Drained, packaged, and shipped lube oil from process buildings some
of which will be reused as a cleaning agent.
• Began removal of R-114 refrigerant from the gaseous diffusion plant
for safer deposit removal activities.
• Two of the ten systems that will remove uranium deposits from the
gaseous diffusion plant, the first of their kind, are on site.
• Completed switchyard consolidation to better suit the changing needs
of the plant site.
• Identified 11 facilities for D&D to support footprint reduction.
• Deep soil mixing to remove TCE contamination from soil is more than
50% complete.

C-410/420 Demolition
• Demolition of the 116,000-square-foot C-410/420 Feed Plant was
completed on May 14, 2015.
• 2,600 panels of cement asbestos siding and 9,000 feet of pipe are among
the more 4,700 tons of waste safely removed prior to demolition.

C-410/420 Demolition
Constructed in 1956 the
C-410/420 Feed Plant was used
to produce uranium hexafluoride
(UF6) for uranium enrichment in
the plants cascades.
• The 85-foot tall Feed Plant
began demolition in 2011
with the ~30,000-square-foot
Eastern-Third. Crews had to
remove system piping and
other equipment prior to the
final stages of demolition in
2014.

C-410/420 Demolition
• Wastes were loaded into 114 rail-cars and shipped to Clive, UT, including
over 110,000-square-feet of building material.
• The amount of waste generated from decontamination and demolition
would cover one football field 15 feet deep.

Fissile Deinventory
• Developed program to handle
fissile material as part of the
fissile deinventory project.
• Over 100 people were trained
to safely remove fissile
material in facilities that have
ceased operations.
• Almost 230 pieces of fissile
waste from the C-720
Maintenance and Stores
building have been removed.
162 total containers of waste
have been generated.

Waste Management
FY15 Waste Management
• Dispositioned more than 160,000
gallons of lube oil from the
process buildings
• Dispositioned more than 25,000
gallons of PCB transformer oil
from Building C-337
• Developed four authorization
limit packages for offsite
treatment/disposition of lube oil
and PCB transformer oil; and
• Performed a paper and site Audit
of the Veolia Incinerator Facility in
Port Arthur, Texas.

• The lube oil removal project has shipped almost 200 tons of waste
offsite in tanker trucks.
• An additional 160 tons of PCB oil from PCB transformers have been
remove and shipped offsite in containers.
• Removal of theses wastes are crucial to moving forward with future
D&D activities.
