“This property is huge for us to re-industrialize, and we have been working for many years to basically develop this as an energy product,” he noted.ĭecommissioning giant Orano recently suggested that a 2017 report compiled by the Next Generation Nuclear Plant Alliance for the DOE “identified the Portsmouth Site as the most suitable site in the U.S. So far, the DOE has transferred 300 acres of federally owned land to the organization, Steve Shepherd, SODI executive director, told POWER on Thursday. While a federally led environmental cleanup program is underway at the Portsmouth site, the DOE in 2018 began transferring cleaned-up parcels of the Portsmouth site to SODI, an economic development initiative tasked with improving the quality of life for neighboring Jackson, Pike, Ross, and Scioto Counties.
The site notably also hosts the American Centrifuge Project, where nuclear fuel firm Centrus is demonstrating the production of high-assay low-enriched uranium (HALEU) with domestic technology under a DOE contract. gaseous diffusion plant in Pike County, Ohio, that ran from 1954 to 2001 to produce enriched uranium for support the nation’s nuclear weapons program (and later, to produce enriched uranium for commercial nuclear operations). The Portsmouth site is a nuclear enclave that sprawls across 3,700 acres of land attached to PORTS, a U.S. Courtesy: Oklo Part of a Major Nuclear-Oriented Land Reuse Initiative Oklo’s two commercial power plants planned with the Southern Ohio Diversification Initiative (SODI) will provide up to 30 MW of clean electric power, and over 50 MW of clean heating, with opportunities to expand. The plants will notably support job creation in the area, furthering SODI’s mission “to improve the quality of life for the southern Ohio community through economic diversification and the advancement of clean energy solutions,” the company said. For now, the company is targeting a power production timeframe “as soon as 2028,” it said. The site will host two commercial 15-MWe Aurora powerhouses (a combined 30 MWe) and “ over 50 MW of clean heating, with opportunities to expand,” the company told POWER. Oklo on May 18 announced it signed an agreement for land on underutilized land and facilities transferred to SODI by the DOE within the Portsmouth site. Paris: Commissariat à l'Energie Atomique, 695 pp.Advanced nuclear reactor technology firm Oklo will build its second and third commercial 15-MWe Aurora Powerhouse reactors on land owned by the Southern Ohio Diversification Initiative (SODI), a community reuse organization tasked by the Department of Energy (DOE) to re-industrialize land around the Portsmouth Gaseous Diffusion Plant (PORTS) just south of Piketon, Ohio.
