X-705 BUILDING
PORTS VIRTUAL MUSEUM:
During the Cold War, this building housed equipment for the disassembly and decontamination of process equipment, for uranium recovery, and for plant laundry. The facility is centrally located to the X-326, X-330 and X-333 Process Buildings, as well as the X-700 Converter Shop and Chemical Cleaning Facility and the X-720 Maintenance and Stores Building.
The X-705 Decontamination Building provided space, special handling equipment, and fixtures to meet the requirements for disassembly, decontamination, and radiation monitoring of cascade process components removed for maintenance and repair in the X-700 Converter Shop and Chemical Cleaning Facility and the X-720 Maintenance and Stores Building. The recovery of uranium from decontamination solutions was also accomplished in the X-705 Decontamination Building. The recovered uranium oxide was processed to obtain UF6, which was reintroduced as feed in the cascade for enrichment in the uranium-235 isotope.
Equipment removed from the cascade after exposure to UF6 had to be disassembled for decontamination of component parts prior to the performance of maintenance or repair work. Decontaminated parts were routinely monitored to assure that all parts met approved plant allowable limits for surface and “wipe” radioactivity counts. Any part or component not meeting the plant allowable limits was retained for further decontamination or handled in the shops with approved protective clothing and respiratory protection.
The spray booth decontamination system was designed for processing large parts, such as compressor and converter parts. The building contains five booths in series. All decontaminated parts were normally sent to the maintenance shop in either the X-720 Maintenance and Stores Building or the X-700 Converter Shop and Chemical Cleaning Facility for rework. In some cases, the parts were sent to salvage or the aluminum smelter.
There were hand tables, which used a recirculating solution fo
X-710 BUILDING
One of the most radioactive buildings at the PORTS site is the X-710 building.
X-710 TECHNICAL SERVICES BUILDING
“The laboratory in the X-710 Building provided mass spectrometry analysis for determining assays of samples and analysis for minor isotopes. In addition, the laboratory provided wet chemistry and other analyses for almost any need at the plant. This included contaminants in the process gas during plant operations and environmental samples.”

The sheer number of radioactive cylinders at Piketon is shocking.
