Construction is almost complete on a batch plant that will provide concrete for the Uranium Processing Facility, or UPF, at Y-12 National Security Complex.
The components for the concrete batch plant arrived at the Y-12 National Security Complex in 41 trucks, and the plant was assembled onsite. The batch plant will provide concrete for the construction of UPF, a first-of-its-kind facility for enriched uranium operations in support of Y-12 National Security Complex missions.
There was a groundbreaking in August for the three-story Construction Support Building for the UPF.
The UPF is expected to be complete by 2025 and cost no more than $6.5 billion. It’s expected to be the largest federal investment in Tennessee since World War II.
