Uranium Clean Up To Begin Soon

A multi-million dollar cleanup near Gore could start soon.  The land is contaminated from a former uranium conversion facility.

Sequoyah Fields used to enrich uranium for nuclear power plants, but shut down in 1993.  Crews are planning to clean up contaminated groundwater and build a disposal area to hold contaminated dirt and old equipment.

Federal regulators have signed off on the final report which means the process could begin this summer.

Last year, a trucking company hauled off all the depleted uranium to a burial site in Nevada.
