SRS Watch Alert: More nuclear waste coming in to the Savannah River Site with no exit strategy? Why consider U.S. Navy reactor disposal at SRS given the wet climate and permeable soils and that SRS is a clean-up site?

It is the initial assessment of SRS Watch that there is no justification for review of disposal of naval reactors at SRS, a site unsuited for this mission given the wet climate and sandy, permeable soils. Additionally, SRS is not a disposal site but rather a clean-up site. Assessing SRS as a disposal site for naval reactors underscores legitimate public concern about expanded use of SRS as a disposal site for nuclear waste and plutonium generated in the US or abroad. As DOE seems to continue to search for nuclear waste to bring to the site, the public and SRS Citizens Advisory Board (SRS CAB) must be vigilant in its oversight of SRS activities.
