Hype for the Future 113PRP: Hollywood Prop Museum

Overview The Hollywood Prop Museum is located within extremely rural Pike County, Ohio, well to the west of the community of Piketon into the Appalachian hinterlands of the State, while also remaining east of communities such as Idaho and Buchanan and south of the City of Chillicothe. Only a handful of collections of Hollywood props and artifacts are able to exist within the scope of the museum.

Hype for the Future 77O: Pike County, Ohio

Overview Pike County, Ohio, is located in the south-central portion of the State of Ohio and uses Waverly as the county seat. However, Piketon to the south is the location of the Pike County Fairgrounds and is occasionally more associated with the county than Waverly. Historically, perhaps the most important portion of the history of Pike County, Ohio, was the Pike Monthly Meeting, associated with Quaker societies often from the Philadelphia area and the immediate vicinity, including […]

#TerraPower advanced reactor on schedule but fuel remains a concern

Staff Writer May 14, 2024

"According to Reuters, fuel supply remains TerraPower’s main concern for the first plant, on which the company expects to begin non-nuclear-related construction in June. Director of External Affairs at TerraPower Jeff Navin said the supply of HALEU was considered the greatest uncertainty when planning for deployment. 'We still think 2030 is our best bet as to when we can get things completed, but I can’t tell you today that I can account for every kilogram of HALEU that we will need, where it will come from, and when we’ll have it, so that that is certainly something that still keeps us up at night.'

"Plans for US-produced fuel are being expedited, including a two-phase project to produce 900 kg of HALEU a year by the nuclear fuel and services company, #Centrus. In November 2023, Centrus announced its first delivery of 20 kilograms of HALEU uranium hexafluoride (#UF6), completing Phase 1 of the HALEU Operation Contract under budget and ahead of schedule. Centrus has so far achieved cumulative deliveries to the DOE of approximately 135 kilograms of HALEU. However, this is not enough."

Dayton Daily News investigation found #contamination, sick workers at #PiketonOhio plant

"A polluted former #UraniumEnrichment plant in #Piketon closed years ago but it's impact continues to resonate through the community, including this week when a #MiddleSchool was closed after traces of radioactive #neptunium were found at an air monitoring station at the school.

"Contamination with radiation and multiple toxic substances at the former Portsmouth Gaseous Diffusion Plant led to an ongoing, multibillion dollar environmental cleanup and sickened plant workers who had to fight for compensation as they battled debilitating terminal illnesses related to their years at the plant.

"A massive 2006 investigation by the Dayton Daily News found five plumes of poisoned #groundwater, contamination with radiation, #beryllium, polychlorinated biphenyls (#PCBs) and #asbestos.

"The investigation found lax safety practices, routine mishandling of toxic and #radioactive material and at least 400 accidental releases of #UraniumGas or toxic fluorine. Toxins were dumped into unlined #landfills and ditches and leached into #groundwater and the Little #BeaverCreek, a tributary of the #SciotoRiver.

"The plant was operated by the federal government and contractors from 1954 to 2001 and enriched uranium to high levels for #NuclearWeapons and #NuclearSubmarines and to lower levels for #nuclearpowerplants.

"There have long been environmental concerns about the #Piketon site, which the federal government and private contractors operated from 1954 to 2001 to enrich #uranium for #NuclearWeapons and, later, for nuclear power plant fuel.

"In 2019, a nearby middle school was closed after a report was released revealing that previous testing at the school found traces of #neptunium, a #radioactive #carcinogen, according to the Dayton Daily News. In 2006, the Daily News found poisoned #groundwater, radioactive contamination, hundreds of accidental releases of #uranium gas or toxic fluorine, and other toxins that leached from unlined landfills and ditches into groundwater and a nearby creek."

Ohio may soon get two new nuclear power plants for the first time in decades

COLUMBUS, Ohio—A California company has signed an agreement to open two new cutting-edge nuclear power plants by the end of the decade on the site of a long-shuttered Southern Ohio facility built to enrich uranium for nuclear weapons. Oklo Inc., announced this week it intends to build two small, advanced nuclear power plants on part of a 3,700-acre site south of Piketon that once was home to ...
