🏭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 🔯.
