AGP Executive Report

Last update: 11 hours ago

Soil Cleanup: Kentucky State University researchers found hot pepper plants can absorb certain soil metals, while levels in the fruit stayed below limits cited in the study. The work points to a possible way to help clean contaminated soil. Hemp and Habitat: A University of Kentucky-led study suggests more hemp acreage could diversify crops, improve water quality and support a wider variety of birds. Nuclear Energy: Federal regulators recommended licensing the proposed Paducah laser-enrichment facility in a final environmental review; a safety review is still pending. Separately, a company has proposed a 6.6-gigawatt nuclear campus in Lewis County that could be the nation’s largest. Public Health: Researchers shared an update on a study examining potential health impacts from chemical plants in Calvert City.
