Columbia, SC – Two events on Tuesday, November 12 in Augusta, GA and Aiken, SC on the proposed Plutonium Bomb Plant (PBP) – to produce plutonium “pits” for a new nuclear weapon – at the Savannah River Site (SRS) are designed to inform the public and stimulate discussion about this dangerous and unneeded new mission at SRS. The events will review what happened at the now-closed Rocky Flats site in Colorado, DOE’s last large-scale pit-fabrication facility, which is contaminated with plutonium, and give an update of where the unfunded, unauthorized project stands in Congress. A list of things that must be done by DOE’s National Nuclear Security Administration before the project proceeds will be issued at the news conference.
