SUMMARY
Fluor-BWXT Portsmouth LLC (Fluor-BWXT) is the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) contractor for the decontamination and decommissioning of the Portsmouth Gaseous Diffusion Plant (PORTS) in Piketon, Ohio. Our site is steeped with a rich and vibrant history beginning with its construction in the early 1950’s when it was selected by the Atomic Energy Commission to expand its production of enriched uranium. Throughout the years, the mission of the plant has undergone several major changes and today it is shutdown as we take the first steps towards decontamination and decommissioning. Internship/Co-Op programs with Fluor-BWXT provide an exciting opportunity to spend alternate semesters working with a team of experienced professionals dedicated to the environmental remediation of the former PORTS site.
