SRS Watch is headed to Germany to protest the proposed dumping of German commercial spent fuel on the Savannah River Site. Come join us in Jülich on September 21, the first event in a week-long tour.
Jülich is where the spent fuel from the experimental AVR gas-cooled reactor is stored – 300,000 highly radioactive graphite balls that must be managed in Germany. According to the management of the
Jülich facility, “the nuclear fuel in the spent AVR fuel elements is not weapons-grade.” Thus is destroyed the claim that it should be dumped on SRS for nuclear non-proliferation reasons.
