🚨 On January 2nd, a well pad fire occurred in Ohio, but no one was injured. 🔥 This is just one of several well pad incidents in the region, including the 2013 Bolivar explosion, a 2014 fire in Monroe County and another in Jefferson County in 2018. Southeastern Ohio, alongside Pennsylvania, is one of the oldest oil-producing regions in the U.S. While fires and explosions are rare, they can have a catastrophic impact. 💥

🏭Here's a sneak peek at one of our upcoming feature stories by our Social Media Editor @madalynblairr. She dives into how Piketon became a pivotal player in nuclear energy and the lasting effect it’s had on the community.

The Portsmouth Gaseous Diffusion Plant (PORTS) in Piketon produced enriched uranium until 2001, but the fight didn’t stop there. In 2023, the American Centrifuge Plant announced plans to begin enriching uranium on the same site.

For over 40 years, former electrician Vina Colley has been an outspoken advocate for the plant to be properly cleaned up. She’s not alone; many former workers and lifelong residents are suffering from health issues linked to unsafe chemical exposure at the site.

Operations engineer Paul Mobley is someone helping Colley. He is gathering data to assess contamination levels around the plant, as the community continues to fight for accountability 🔯.
