Fernald Environmental Management Project

The Fernald Environmental Management Project, located in Ohio, was a former uranium processing facility used during the Cold War to produce materials for nuclear weapons. After closing in the 1980s, it became a designated site for environmental cleanup. The project involved safely removing and containing hazardous radioactive and chemical waste to protect public health and the environment. Today, it is a focus of ongoing remediation efforts, with many areas restored and monitored to ensure safety and environmental recovery.
