The Feed Materials Production Center, also known as the Fernald Environmental Management Project, or the Fernald Closure Project is a 1,050-acre facility located in southwestern Ohio, approximately 19 miles northwest of downtown Cincinnati. The facility is located just north of the small town of Fernald, and has an estimated population of 14,600 residing within five miles of the site. The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) constructed and operated the site from 1951 to 1991, producing high purity uranium metal in support of national defense programs. This was accomplished by chemically and physically purifying a variety of feed materials, converting uranium compounds into uranium metal, casting the metal into various shapes, and machining the castings to specified dimensions.
