COLUMBUS, Ohio — Residents living near a Cold War-era nuclear weapons facility in southern Ohio settled a two-decade-old federal lawsuit over alleged hazardous chemical contamination in their neighborhoods, an attorney for the plant’s operators said Saturday.
The undisclosed settlement was “substantially less” than the $300 million lawsuit and didn’t include all the plaintiffs, said lawyer Gail Ford, who represented Divested Atomic Corp. and other operators of the former Portsmouth Gaseous Diffusion Plant in Piketon, about 65 miles south of Columbus.
