WORKSHOP - VISION 2010: DEFEDERALIZATION AND REINDUSTRIALIZATION OF THE OAK RIDGE RESERVATION Point of Contact: telephone (423) 574-3027; toll free (800) 382-6938; facsimile (423) 241-3329; Home Page http://www.ornl.gov/Materials_Recycle/home.html. In 1985, the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) discontinued uranium enrichment operations at the Gaseous Diffusion facilities in Oak Ridge, Tenn. The discontinuation of these operations resulted in underutilized facilities, equipment, materials and infrastructure (roads, utilities and numerous industrial buildings). To establish a sustainable commercial industry for the Oak Ridge region, DOE is making these assets available for private sector use. There are diverse facilities, equipment, materials, infrastructure and services to offer the private sector. Available structures include a wide variety of industrial facilities. The construction of the gaseous diffusion assemblies required thousands of tons of valuable metals including nickel, aluminum, stainless steel and copper. Thousands of electric motors (rated up to 3,300 horsepower) and companion switch gear, controls and cabling were used to power the diffusion process. As is inherent with the diffusion process, some of these assets are contaminated with radioactive and chemical materials. DOE is hosting an Industry Advice and Information Exchange Workshop to discuss these assets and potential business opportunities with business and industry on April 2 and 3, 1996. The Workshop, ``Vision 2010: Defederalization and Reindustrialization of the Oak Ridge Reservation,'' will give attendees an overview of available facilities, equipment and material salvage and recycle operations in Oak Ridge's facilities. DOE will feature its fully functional industrial machining, fabrication and manufacturing facilities that are offered for lease or sale. Dialogue will be initiated with business and industry representatives to assist DOE in transferring major portions of the Oak Ridge Reservation to private tenants. The Workshop will be held at the Oak Ridge High School, 127 Providence Road in Oak Ridge. Tours of various facilities will be conducted at the DOE Oak Ridge Reservation. Those planning to take the tour, should bring photo identification with their full name and birth date and inform DOE representatives of any special needs. Special tours must be scheduled for foreign nationals for a later date (at least 12 weeks notice is needed). To help us serve you better, please register by March 22.

Individual meetings with representatives of DOE and the Community Reuse Organization of East Tennessee (CROET), DOE's leasing and economic development representative, to discuss specific interests can be scheduled for April 4.
