摘要：	About 50 members of the Central Ohio River Business Association (CORBA) and their guests toured the Nucor Steel Gallatin plant in Ghent, Ky, as part of their winter meeting March 16.The meeting also included the presentation of the Friend of the River Award to Capt. Alan Bernstein, president and CEO of BB Riverboats.Tony Nath, Nucor Steel Gallatin's material handling and shipping day supervisor, said the group was the largest gathering so far to tour the facility following its recent $650 million expansion.After splitting into several small groups, participants donned protective gear, including heavy jackets, gloves, ear protection and safety glasses. They toured the melt shop, caster, rolling mill and galvanizing line.Nath said the expansion has increased Nucor's capacity at the plant from 1.6 million tons per year to 3.2 million tons. The expansion has allowed the plant to increase its use of barged-in scrap steel as a feedstock, he said, with about half of the scrap steel now being barged in, primarily by River Metals Recycling. The steel may have previously been used in cars or refrigerators and recycling keeps it from filling up landfills or being dumped illegally.
