Facility Reuse Program

The Facility Reuse Program is designed to identify assets on-site at the PGDP that could be reused to benefit both the plant workforce and community.  Such assets could include buildings, land, equipment, infrastructure, nickel ingots, aluminum ingots, scrap ferrous metals, and depleted uranium hexafluoride cylinders.

Program Accomplishments:

• Fluorine Cells - an agreement was reached with TOCXO Inc, for services rendered to obtain the excess fluorine cells on site at the Paducah Gaseous Diffusion Plant  (PGDP) in Paducah, Kentucky. This agreement saved the Department of Energy (DOE) approximately $2.5 million in cleanup costs.
• Cold Traps - PACRO is in discussions with Honeywell, Inc. to clean, sell, and remove excess Cold Traps from the PGDP site. This agreement could save DOE between $2.5 and $5 million dollars in cleanup costs.
