The forth annual Nuclear Free Future Run/Walk will start from Horseshoe Mound in Portsmouth Ohio.

We will start this event in Portsmouth close to the Portsmouth Gaseous Diffusion Plant, located near Portsmouth, Ohio, this plant began operations in 1954 as part of a U.S. government expansion program for the production of highly enriched uranium to fuel military reactors, nuclear weapons production and for use at the Y-12 plant in Oakridge TN.

In May 2001, USEC ceased uranium enrichment operations at Portsmouth and consolidated operations at the Paducah KY plant.

There is now a new plan to build a new enrichment plant in Piketon just north of Portsmouth OH.
