| event text = At 1705 hours on 03/08/2010, the USEC-GS Plant Shift Superintendents' (PSS) Office at Portsmouth was notified of an inadvertent release of radioactively contaminated materials to an off-site location in Pike County, OH. The contamination was the result of a contractor neutralizing a fluorine service pipe connecting the X-326 building with the X-760 building. The X-760 building has been "de-leased" by USEC back to the Department of Energy (DOE) and is being prepared for decommission and demolition. The contaminated items consisted of five (5) 5-gallon buckets containing some rusty solution. The highest contamination levels were on one (1) bucket with 14K Beta removable and 50K Beta fixed. All other tools and personal protective equipment were monitored and found to be uncontaminated. There is a filtering unit located in Atlanta, GA that remains to be surveyed. A team of USEC health physics personnel is preparing to travel to the contractor's facility in Atlanta to complete the surveys. | | event text = At 1705 hours on 03/08/2010, the USEC-GS Plant Shift Superintendents' (PSS) Office at Portsmouth was notified of an inadvertent release of radioactively contaminated materials to an off-site location in Pike County, OH.
