The PGDP was the only operating uranium enrichment facility in the United States from 2001 to 2010. The Paducah plant produced low-enriched uranium, originally as feedstock for military reactors and weapons, and later for commercial nuclear power fuel. The gaseous diffusion plant covers 750 acres (300 ha) of a 3,556 acres (1,439 ha) site.
