Paducah Learning Lessons From Portsmouth, Oak Ridge
Jennifer Woodard, PPPO's Paducah site lead, discussed the work performed in recent years to develop an integrated site baseline for cleanup activities following the return of all the plant's former enrichment facilities to DOE in 2014. The new baseline takes a 10-year approach to tackling key priorities, including remediation, deactivation activities, and utility optimization, she said.
DUF6 Effort is 'Seven Lines, One Project'
Reinhard Knerr, EM federal project director at PPPO, discussed work to return the two depleted uranium hexafluoride (DUF6) plants at Portsmouth and Paducah to full operation following a safety-related shutdown in 2015. The plants are intended to convert tens of thousands of metric tons of DUF6 material into a more stable form for eventual disposition. All four conversion process lines at the Paducah plant are operating, and early this year, the first of the three conversation process lines at the Portsmouth plant resumed operation, according to Knerr.

Tecumseh Announces Lead Actor!
After a long few months and a nationwide search, The Scioto Society is pleased to announce that Matt Nelson will portray the Shawnee leader for its 2018 production.
Director Brent Gibbs and Producer Brandon Smith saw dozens of actors for the role, but only interviewed a few seriously. "We had a good gut feeling of the type of actor we were looking for...someone with the right kind of voice and a set of skills that is fairly specialized. He needs to be able to ride a horse, fire guns and fight convincingly well on the stage. Those actors are not easy to find and most often we find them close to home." Said Smith.

Get a Front Row Seat to Democracy in Action
It takes over 35,000 people to ensure things run smoothly on Election Day and we're calling on you to enlist.
Ohio Secretary of State Jon Husted's office is working with business leaders like you to get the word out about how anyone can become a poll worker, and in doing so, secure themselves a front seat to democracy in action.
In addition to serving their community, those who sign up will also be compensated for their time. They will earn around $100 for their service on Election Day and will also be paid for attending a training session. This could be used as extra spending money or even donated to a charity of their choosing.
It is important that elections in Ohio run smoothly and we hope you will consider making a day for democracy by partnering with Secretary Husted's office to get the word out to your employees and members about this important opportunity to serve the community, state and country.
For more information on making your business a partner, or to sign up to be a poll worker, visit
