Public Forum on SRS Plutonium Bomb Plant & Lessons Learned from the Rocky Flats Plutonium Disaster, Nov. 12, Aiken, SC

SRS Watch news on NNSA’s Proposed Plutonium Bomb Plant at Savannah River Site and Lessons Learned from the Rocky Flats Plutonium Disaster – Forum in Aiken, SC on November 12, 2019

“Rocky Flats Disaster: Red Light for SRS Plutonium Bomb Plant (PBP) for Fabrication of “Pits” for Unneeded New Nuclear Weapon”

AIKEN, SOUTH CAROLINA, USA, October 30, 2019 — As it means more plutonium, more nuclear waste and more risk of nuclear accident at the U.S. Department of Energy’s sprawling Savannah River Site in South Carolina, a public forum will be held at 7 p.m. on November 12, 2019 in the Aiken, South Carolina public library. The free event will address the risks of the Plutonium Bomb Plant (PBP) proposed for the site.

The forum will focus on lessons learned from pit production at DOE’s plutonium-contaminated and now-closed Rocky Flats site, located upwind from Denver, Colorado. Dr. LeRoy Moore and Patricia Mellen, Esq., representing the Rocky Mountain Peace and Justice Center, will discuss the plutonium contamination left at the site due to accidents and plutonium fires and give an update on the on-going efforts by a number of public interest groups to obtain grand jury documents sealed after a 1989 raid of the Rocky Flats site by the FBI.

The title of the forum is “Rocky Flats Disaster: Red Light for SRS Plutonium Bomb Plant.” The message from the speakers is one of caution – that people in South Carolina do not want the risks of plutonium disasters like Rocky Flats to occur at SRS.
