| THIS WEB PAGE IS BEING WORKED ON FOR THE PURPOSE OF SHOWING THE DIFFERENCES BETWEEN A NUCLEAR FUEL REPROCESSING PLANT AND A URANIUM ENRICHMENT PLANT.

| What will the world of our children and grandchildren be like? The information within may be disturbing. |
| Dennis R. Spurgeon Vice President and CEO United States Enrichment Corporation (USEC Inc.) |
| Dennis R. Spurgeon wants to build a large scale uranium enrichment plant (nuclear waste reprocessing plant and nuclear waste burner reactor) somewhere in the United States, while holding his public servant position that he recently obtained as an obvious result of many years of hard work, dedication, bribery, kickbacks, campaign contributions, lobbying, and distribution of false and misleading information from the nuclear industry. |
| Dennis Spurgeon has targeted somewhere between 10 and 13 potential locations in the United States with a plan of making one of them the unfortunate recipient of his nuclear waste reprocessing plant and nuclear waste burner reactor. One of these potential locations is about half way between Roswell and Tatum in Chaves County, New Mexico. |
| Dennis Spurgeon was sworn in on April 3, 2006, as the first Assistant Secretary for Nuclear Energy (NE) at the Department of Energy in more than a decade. In this capacity, Mr. Spurgeon is the senior nuclear technology official in the U.S. Government. |
| Mr. Spurgeon leads the recently–announced Global Nuclear Energy Partnership. When I first learned about the GNEP, I was told that it was an effort to create a monopoly on enriched uranium with the United States, England, and France, which appeared to be perceived by many as an act of aggression toward approximately 190 countries throughout the world. During the past few months, my understanding is that a few more countries have joined in the GNEP, while others are prohibited. GNEP is part of the President’s Advanced Energy Initiative. |
| Most recently, Assistant Secretary Spurgeon served as Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Office for United States Encrichment Corporation (USEC, Inc.) an international supplier of enriched uranium for nuclear plants. |
| Photo Date: January 1988 The Paducah Gaseous Diffusion Plant site encompasses 300 hectares (750 acres) inside a 1,369-hectare (3,422-acre) reservation owned by the Department of Energy. It is located approximately 8 kilometers (5 miles) west of the City of Paducah, Kentucky. Construction of the Paducah Gaseous Diffusion Plant began in 1951. Initial operations began in 1952, and full operations were initiated by 1955. Since 1991, the plant has only produced low-enriched uranium for use as fuel in commercial nuclear power plants. http://www.fas.org/irp/imint/doe_paducah_01.htm |

| The Portsmouth Gaseous Diffusion Plant (PORTS) is operated by the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), and uranium enrichment facilities involved in the production of Low Enriched Uranium (LEU) are leased to the United States Enrichment Corporation (USEC). RTS is one of the two operating uranium enrichment facilities owned by DOE. The other is in Paducah, Kentucky.... |
| Residents living in the vicinity of the PORTS are concerned that their health has been adversely impacted by operations at the plant. During a preliminary visit to the area in September 1992, ATSDR staff members met area residents in a town meeting. Numerous concerns expressed during the site visits and during several public meetings and availability sessions include the following: |
| 1) skin rashes, resembling patches of sunburn; 2) chronic lung disease, requiring the use of oxygen; 3) nodules on heads and backs that looked like cysts or boils; 4) degeneration of connective and skeletal tissue not associated with arthritis or osteoporosis; 5) spotty discolorations on teeth; 6) birth abnormalities, such as webbed hands and ear-folds and 7) excessive numbers of cancers in children and cancers in |
| general. |
| There was general concern over spills of uranium hexafluoride on site during the 1960s and 1970s. Also, there were concerns about worker exposure to polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), trichloroethylene (TCE), uranium hexafluoride (UF6), asbestos, and hydrogen fluoride (HF). |
| A more extensive list of collected community concerns from site visits, public meetings, public availability sessions, newspaper articles, letters, phone calls and meetings with residents are addressed in the Community Health Concern Evaluation section... |

| In 1933 the bottomless lakes area was set aside as New Mexico's first state park. Lea Lake is the deepest at 90 feet and is the only lake where swimming is allowed. During summer, visitors can rent paddleboats for a small fee. Devil's Inkwell is 32 ft. deep and is named for its steep sides and dark water, the result of algae growth. |
