Welcome to the Paducah Virtual Symposia

We are pleased to launch the newly completed Virtual Symposium for your viewing enjoyment! The video presentations, Power point presentations, and project reports can serve as useful Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM) education tools for area schools, colleges, and universities and also provide valuable information to the public at large about applied research projects conducted at U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) facilities in Kentucky and Ohio.

The Virtual Symposium is a joint collaboration between the Kentucky Research Consortium for Energy and the Environment at the University of Kentucky (UK).the Voinovich School of Leadership and Public Affairs at Ohio University (OU). These activities are funded by grants administered by DOE's Office of Environmental Management Portsmouth/Paducah Project Office.

The Virtual Symposium provides online presentations and resources related to UK activities conducted at the DOE Paducah Gaseous Diffusion Plant (PGDP) site near Paducah, Kentucky and OU activities conducted at the DOE Portsmouth Gaseous Diffusion Plant (PORTS) site near Piketon, Ohio.
