Over the Last Forty Year, there Have Been Major Savannah River Site (SRS) Victories on Behalf of the Public and Environment!
See them here.
Costly and unnecessary projects designed to bilk the taxpayer and add large amounts of nuclear waste to SRS have been defeated, saving the taxpayer billions of dollars. Examples of DOE programs defeated by the concerned public: a new reactor to produce nuclear bomb materials, halt of operation two decrepit defense reactors (without containment domes) at the site, defeat of plans to bring highly radioactive commercial spent fuel to the site in a $25-billion reprocessing plant & defeat of plans for a facility to build the plutonium “pits” (cores) of nuclear weapons at SRS.

These victories underscore that managers at the site must keep the focus on the urgent clean-up of hazardous nuclear waste at the site and not get diverted by fanciful programs designed to enrich only a few. Clean-up is the king of jobs at the site and managers must renew efforts to secure adequate funding to carry out the essential programs over the next 30 years.
