Paducah, KY – The Paducah Gaseous Diffusion Plant is reviewing safety regulations and emergency response protocols after an earthquake and tsunami in Japan damaged a nuclear power plant there. United States Enrichment Corporation started the review in March shortly after the Japanese earthquake. According the Paducah Sun, USEC Vice President Steve Penrod says the review is voluntary.
