Tracking arrival of MOX “lead test assembles” (LTAs) fabricated at MELOX in France as DOE secure vehicles and escorts depart Joint Base Charleston (Naval Weapons Station, Charleston South Carolina) in April 2005, after arrival by sea on PNTL vessel. Test rods were taken to the Catawba reactor unit 1 and other unirradiated rods taken back to Los Alamos National Lab, from which 123 kg fresh plutonium had been shipped cross-country for export via Charleston, SC to Cherbourg, France.

Immediately below: Tom Clements of SRS Watch (in foreground) observes containers on the surface at DOE’s Waste Isolation Pilot Plant (WIP) in New Mexico containing downblended weapon-grade plutonium from the Savannah River Site, October 1, 2015. The containers were held on the surface due to a temporary halt to WIPP operations (due to accidents in 2014) but were later taken underground into the WIPP salt mine. Clements and colleagues from the Alliance for Nuclear Accountability (ANA) had observed the concrete culverts in which the downblended plutonium containers were stored in the E-Area at SRS in March 2015 – see second photo below.
Oceanic Pintail, a UK-flagged vessel based in Barrow-in-Furness (Cumbria, England), and operated by Pacific Nuclear Transport Ltd (PNTL). The Pintail is used to carry spent fuel and nuclear waste, including research reactor spent fuel to South Carolina, for transport to the DOE’s Savannah River Site (SRS).
