Any KY peeps live near this Nuke Plant that has any more info? Sunday’s apparent tornado damaged the shut-down Paducah nuclear fuel factory, but officials say they can find no evidence of leaks or danger to the public. One of the Paducah Gaseous Diffusion Plant’s four enrichment production buildings was damaged, as well as adjacent cooling towers and a nearby electrical switch yard, said Jeremy Derryberry, a spokesman for the plant operator, USEC Inc. There was no release of hazardous or radioactive materials, and the plant’s safety and monitoring systems were in full operation, he said, adding that the damage was limited to the building’s exterior.
