The President has proposed to spend $340 million dollars to accelerate construction of the new bomb plant in Oak Ridge, Tennessee in next year’s budget. These parables illuminate our thinking about the wisdom of massive investment in a Supersized, Superpriced bomb plant at a time when we are trying to discourage other nations’ nuclear ambitions and rein in spending across the board. Enjoy!

The Oak Ridge Environmental Peace Alliance submitted formal comments on the Final Y12 Site-Wide Environmental Impact Statement on Friday, April 1 and supplemented the comments with an additional letter on Monday, April 4, after the publication of an article detailing seismic concerns about buildings currently being used at Y12 for the production of nuclear weapons components.
