In the 1960s, the Paducah plant's mission changed from enriching uranium for nuclear weapons to one focused on producing fuel for commercial nuclear power plants. Until recently, Paducah and its sister plant located near Portsmouth, Ohio, worked together to enrich uranium for use in nuclear power plants. In May 2001, USEC consolidated its enrichment operations at Paducah. The following year, transfer and shipping operations were also consolidated at Paducah.
