An Entity of Type: place, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

The Fernald Feed Materials Production Center (commonly referred to simply as Fernald or later NLO) is a Superfund site located within Crosby Township in Hamilton County, Ohio, as well as Ross Township in Butler County, Ohio. It was a uranium processing facility located near the rural town of New Baltimore, about 20 miles (32 km) northwest of Cincinnati, which fabricated uranium fuel cores for the U.S. nuclear weapons production complex from 1951 to 1989. During that time, the plant produced 170,000 metric tons uranium (MTU) of metal products and 35,000 MTU of intermediate compounds, such as uranium trioxide and uranium tetrafluoride.

  • The Fernald Feed Materials Production Center (commonly referred to simply as Fernald or later NLO) is a Superfund site located within Crosby Township in Hamilton County, Ohio, as well as Ross Township in Butler County, Ohio. It was a uranium processing facility located near the rural town of New Baltimore, about 20 miles (32 km) northwest of Cincinnati, which fabricated uranium fuel cores for the U.S. nuclear weapons production complex from 1951 to 1989. During that time, the plant produced 170,000 metric tons uranium (MTU) of metal products and 35,000 MTU of intermediate compounds, such as uranium trioxide and uranium tetrafluoride. Fernald came under criticism in 1984 when it was learned that the plant was releasing millions of pounds of uranium dust into the atmosphere, causing major radioactive contamination of the surrounding areas. News about the plant's operations led to the 1989 closure of nearby Fort Scott Camp, then the oldest Roman Catholic summer camp in the country. (en)
  • Le Fernald Feed Materials Production Center (communément appelé simplement Fernald ou plus tard NLO) est un site Superfund situé dans le comté de Hamilton, ainsi que dans le comté de Butler en Ohio. C'était une installation de traitement de l'uranium située près de la ville rurale de New Baltimore, à environ 32 km au nord-ouest de Cincinnati, qui fabriquait des noyaux de combustible d'uranium pour le complexe de production d'armes nucléaires américain de 1951 à 1989. Pendant cette période, l'usine a produit 170 000 tonnes d'uranium et 35 000 de composés intermédiaires, tels que le trioxyde d'uranium et le tétrafluorure d'uranium. Fernald a fait l'objet de critiques en 1984, lorsqu'on a appris que l'usine libérait des millions de kilos de poussière d'uranium dans l'atmosphère, causant une contamination radioactive majeure des zones environnantes. Les nouvelles concernant les activités de l'usine ont conduit à la fermeture en 1989 du camp de Fort Scott voisin, alors le plus ancien camp d'été catholique romain du pays. (fr)
