Description
Description | The Savannah River Plutonium Processing Facility is under construction at the Savannah River Site in Aiken, South Carolina. It is being built to produce plutonium pits, which are core components of nuclear weapons, to replace aging pits in the nation's stockpile. The facility is repurposed from the unfinished Mixed Oxide Fuel Fabrication Facility, which was canceled in 2018 due to delays and cost overruns. The project has faced legal challenges requiring a new Programmatic Environmental Impact Statement and public scrutiny. The facility is currently a concrete shell with no classified equipment installed yet, and the final decision on installation is expected in early 2027. The project is highly controversial due to its high cost and potential to restart a nuclear arms race. |
