Isn there another cleanup project taking place at Plum Brook Station?
Yes, but this project is not related to the Decommissioning Project. During World War II, the land on which Plum Brook Station is situated was home to an Ordnance Facility that produced TNT for the war effort. Another division of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) is conducting a cleanup of non-radiological contamination on the site, under the Formerly Used Defense Sites (FUDS) Program.

Another division of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) is conducting a cleanup of non-radiological contamination on the site, under the Formerly Used Defense Sites (FUDS) Program. This includes any non-radiological contamination that might exist in the reactor area, such as the Pentolite production lines and the Pentolite waste lagoon. The Ordnance Works cleanup occasionally involves the shipment of soils and other material to local landfills.

Some members of the RAB have also been members of the Decommissioning Community Workgroup. Information on the Plum Brook Ordnance Works (PBOW) project may be
