Vacant Piketon, Ohio school with radioactive materials to be auctioned on August 17th for at least $270,000.

A vacant school in Piketon, Ohio, with radioactive materials, will be auctioned on August 17th for a minimum of $270,000. The Scioto Valley Local School District closed Zahn's Corner Middle School in May 2019 due to enriched uranium inside and neptunium 237 outside. The U.S. Department of Energy suspects the radioactive materials came from nearby nuclear facilities, but an independent resample study is underway to confirm the contaminants.
