Parables Illuminate Bomb Plant Issues

Two recent reports prepared by OREPA examine the case against the Uranium Processing Facility. You can download them (pdf files) here:

The first examines the spiraling costs and incoherent design process for the UPF:

Deciding Not to Build

 

The second report is OREPA's presentation at the Draft Y12 SWEIS hearing in Oak Ridge which proposes the construction of a Dedicated Dismantlement Facility in Oak Ridge:

Future of Y12

 

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.
