PES September Event: Tour of DOE Nuclear Enrichment Site (Piketon, OH)
Join the IEEE Columbus Power and Energy Society (PES) and Society of Women Engineers (OU Student Chapter) as we tour the Portsmouth Department of Energy (DOE) site in Piketon, Ohio. The site's most prominent function was as a uranium enrichment facility from the 1950s-2000s, primarily in support of the US Defense Program. On this tour, we will witness the nuclear decommissioning activities currently underway, and learn about new plans for the facilities and land. Afterwards, we'll meet for networking at a nearby restaurant to reflect on our "rad" tour-venture!
