Tritium contract concerns raised by lawmakers seek clarity
Williams said dialogue with DOE senior leaders continues as Savannah River Nuclear Solutions operates about 450 tritium staff plus 550 more at the Site including the Savannah River National Laboratory. SRS oversees four tritium missions and a tritium-extraction facility across six sites.
