Energy Department marks 20 years since Fernald cleanup
Original: DOE marks 20th anniversary of Fernald cleanup
The US Department of Energy has marked the 20th anniversary of the completion of the Fernald cleanup, the decades-long remediation of a former uranium processing site near Cincinnati, Ohio. The project, one of the largest environmental cleanup efforts in the country, removed nuclear waste and contaminated materials from the site, which has since been converted into a nature preserve. The anniversary has drawn attention to the legacy of Cold War-era nuclear sites.
Why now: The Department of Energy is publicly commemorating a major milestone in nuclear site remediation, prompting discussion of its legacy.
