Toledo, Ohio
The Baker Brothers site is located in Toledo, Ohio, at the intersection of Harleau Place and Post Street.
In 1943 and 1944, Baker Brothers machined uranium slugs for Manhattan Engineer District contractors. It is believed that Baker Brothers fulfilled most of the initial uranium slug requirement for the world's first production nuclear reactor in Oak Ridge, Tenn. The property is now privately owned, and sustains several commercial enterprises.
Radiological surveys conducted in 1989 and 1990 revealed several outdoor areas and one small indoor area with radiation in excess of DOE guidelines. Full site characterization was conducted in the spring of 1995. Cleanup was completed in March 1996, making it the 22nd FUSRAP site completion.
