SRS Watch news release – July 17, 2015
Update of July 24: After meeting with SRS Watch, various German government officials now have in their hands the US DOE opinion of August 1, 2013 that there is no proliferation risk if the German AVR spent fuel remains in Germany. See memo linked here. The question looms: why has DOE misled the public and German officials that the import of the AVR spent fuel was being considered for nuclear non-proliferation reasons when in fact DOE determined early on that there was no proliferation risk??? Will DOE now admit the truth or continue to feebly try and obscure the real reason for the possible import of the AVR spent fuel to SRS: $$$$$$$$$$ for SRS contractors – Savannah River Nuclear Solutions & Savannah River National Lab – to continue operating the aging H-Canyon reprocessing plant.
