Demolition of the K-31 Building at Oak Ridge’s East Tennessee Technology Park began Oct. 8, marking the removal of the fourth of five gaseous diffusion buildings at the former uranium enrichment site.
The two-story building covers 750,000 square feet and spans a 17-acre footprint. The K-31 facility began operations in 1951, and it was used to enrich uranium for defense and commercial purposes until it was shut down in 1985. In 2005, EM removed most of the hazardous materials from the building’s interior.
