Energy Secretary to Discuss Paducah Plant

After multiple letters from Kentucky politicians, U.S. Department of Energy Secretary Steven Chu has agreed to meet and discuss what should be done with nuclear waste sitting at a Paducah facility. In a letter sent Tuesday from Chu to U.S. Rep. Ed Whitfield, R-Ky., Chu states he is “welcome to the opportunity” to talk about the Paducah Gaseous Diffusion Plant and its expansive stores of depleted uranium “tails.”
