An overview of an analysis about making plutonium “pits” for nuclear weapons includes the bungled MOX plant at SRS. The South Carolina public will not trade one nuclear debacle – MOX – for another one – a costly, dirty “pit” facility project that imports yet more plutonium to SRS and makes our country weaker by planning for nuclear war.

SRS Watch has filed a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request for the actual pit analysis. As we well know how DOE’s FOIA response works – or don’t work – we’re not holding our breath for the legally required
response.
