Technical Report ·
DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/420234· OSTI ID:420234
The Portsmouth Gaseous Diffusion Plant is near the Village of Piketon in rural South-central Ohio. The plant enriches uranium in the chemical form of uranium hexaflouride concentrations on-site and off are similar to those found throughout South-Central Ohio, and therefore do not indicate any history of uranium releases. There appears to be no off-site threat to public health from any site activity or release. ATSDR found off-site contamination was not at levels that could cause adverse health effects. Radiation measurements off-site did not exceed normal variations in background for the region.
