See the op-ed on risks of plutonium “pit” production (for nuclear weapons) at SRS. The op-ed exposes the sad story of pit production at the now-closed Rocky Flats site near Denver, Colorado. Lacking EIS documents, one can imagine that pit production at SRS would not be so neat and clean as DOE/NNSA/contractor propaganda makes it out to be. WHY DOES DOE STONEWALL ON ITS LEGAL REQUIREMENT TO PREPARE A PROGRAMMATIC ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT (PEIS) ON EXPANDED PIT PRODUCTION?
