Uranium Disposition Services, LLC (UDS) has been contracted by the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) to disposition the depleted uranium hexafluoride (DUF6 ) that has been stored at three sites:
- Paducah, Kentucky
- Portsmouth, Ohio
- East Tennessee Technology Park (ETTP) in Oak Ridge, Tennessee
DUF6 is a by-product of the uranium enrichment process used to make uranium suitable for use as fuel for nuclear reactors or in national security applications.
Company history with DOE
The primary objectives of the UDS DUF6 Conversion Project are to design, construct, and operate conversion facilities on DOE property at the Portsmouth and Paducah sites. These facilities will convert the DOE inventory of DUF6 now located at the Paducah and Portsmouth Gaseous Diffusion Plants, and the ETTP, to a stable chemical form acceptable for beneficial use/reuse and/or disposal. (DUF6 cylinders previously located at ETTP have been transferred to the Portsmouth site for conversion.) In addition, UDS will provide surveillance and maintenance of the DOE inventory of cylinders containing DUF6, low-enriched uranium hexafluoride, and natural assay uranium hexafluoride.
Recorded funding is listed from Fiscal year (FY) 2008 to 2012.
