【视频】能源部朴茨茅斯旧址再工业化提速：350多英亩土地移交，330亿美元美国能源枢纽成形
美国能源部11月5日在官方频道发布视频，介绍俄亥俄州派克县派克顿（Piketon）附近朴茨茅斯旧址的再工业化进展：负责该旧址社区再利用的机构已累计受让350多英亩土地，约占旧址总面积的近一成，一个投资330亿美元的「美国能源枢纽」正在这片前气体扩散工厂的土地上成形。视频中，能源部助理部长蒂姆·沃尔什（Tim Walsh）会见了正在拆除冷战时期核设施的工人。本页内嵌官方视频。
据能源部介绍，受让土地的是俄亥俄州南部多元化倡议组织（SODI）——一家1998年成立、只有三名专职人员的非营利机构，其董事会由15名当地社区领袖组成，每月开会讨论社区需求与潜在项目。SODI的资金来自两条渠道：旧址闲置物资的回收处置，以及经评估和董事会批准后把联邦土地出售给企业用于再工业化。
能源枢纽的核心项目是今年早些时候宣布的一项公私合作：软银与AEP Ohio合作再开发能源部的土地、现代化当地能源基础设施，并在俄亥俄州南部发展先进计算产业。能源部朴茨茅斯—帕迪尤卡项目办公室战略规划师格雷格·西蒙顿（Greg Simonton）说，朴茨茅斯旧址当年因偏远的乡村位置和邻近工业所需资源而被选中，这些条件如今同样是再工业化的资产，旧址保留的基础设施对工业企业仍有价值。
SODI执行主任史蒂夫·谢泼德（Steve Shepherd）说，该组织已在周边地区投入数百万美元，开发工业园区、地理信息系统、劳动力培训项目、企业孵化器和创业贷款基金，受益范围覆盖杰克逊、派克、罗斯和赛欧托四县。SODI法律顾问凯文·舒梅克（Kevin Shoemaker）说，自旧址停止铀浓缩以来，社区的愿望一直是把旧址清理好、腾出来给新工业，多年招商之后，如今是企业主动找上门来。
朴茨茅斯旧址冷战时期曾为美国核计划生产浓缩铀，铀浓缩停产后长期处于清理与退役阶段。能源部说，在SODI的协助下，旧址正在转型，为新的美国能源枢纽、新一代的就业岗位和当地社区的经济活力腾出空间。

[Video] DOE Portsmouth Site's Reindustrialization Advances: 350+ Acres Transferred Toward a $33 Billion American Energy Hub
The U.S. Department of Energy on November 5 posted an official video on the reindustrialization of the Portsmouth Site near Piketon in Pike County, Ohio: the site's community reuse organization has now received transfers of more than 350 acres, almost 10 percent of the original site footprint, and an American Energy Hub backed by a $33 billion investment is taking shape on the former gaseous diffusion plant land. In the video, Assistant Secretary Tim Walsh meets American workers who are demolishing Cold War-era nuclear facilities at the site. The official video is embedded on this page.
According to DOE, the land has been transferred to the Southern Ohio Diversification Initiative (SODI), a nonprofit formed in 1998 with a staff of only three, whose 15-member board of local leaders meets monthly to discuss community needs and potential projects. SODI's funding comes through two channels: asset recovery, in which surplus site material is donated, resold or recycled locally, and building and property transfers, in which federal land is evaluated and, after board approval, sold to industry to reindustrialize the site.
Central to the reuse is a public-private partnership announced earlier this year, in which SoftBank and AEP Ohio are redeveloping DOE land, modernizing energy infrastructure and developing advanced computing in southern Ohio. Greg Simonton, strategic planner with DOE's Portsmouth Paducah Project Office, said the site was originally chosen for its secluded, rural nature and proximity to resources and infrastructure needed for industry, and that those same features are an asset in reindustrialization, as the site still contains infrastructure beneficial to industry.
SODI Executive Director Steve Shepherd said the organization has already invested millions in the surrounding counties, developing industrial parks, a GIS system, workforce training programs, a business incubator and an entrepreneur loan fund benefiting Jackson, Pike, Ross and Scioto counties. SODI Legal Counsel Kevin Shoemaker said the community's desire since the site ended uranium enrichment has been for the site to be cleaned up and made available for new industry, and that after years of reaching out to developers, people are now reaching out to SODI because the value of the site is well known.
The Portsmouth Site produced enriched uranium for the U.S. nuclear program during the Cold War and has been in cleanup and decommissioning since enrichment ended. DOE says that with SODI's help, the site is transforming to create space for a new American Energy Hub, new jobs for generations to come and economic vitality in the local community.
