Statement from Attorney General Conway on the Paducah Gaseous Diffusion Plant: “The awarding of a $420 million, three-year contract to Fluor Federal Services to transition the Paducah Gaseous Diffusion Plant is welcome news for Kentucky, especially the Paducah region. I have remained committed to ensuring that the federal government stood by its promise to clean up the site, and I have made it clear to the U.S. Department of Energy (USDOE) that it has a moral and legal obligation to do so. I am very pleased that the USDOE is standing by Paducah and is now moving on this important project. My office and I have kept in close contact with economic development leaders in Paducah, and I recognize that the area has been hard hit by the closing of the plant. This news is the first step toward ensuring the future of the site and creating a significant amount of jobs, especially for employees whove been out of work since the plant closed.”
