MOX project at Savannah River Site may cost up to 800 million
A Red Team review for the MOX program projects operating costs at up to 800 million annually to convert weapons grade plutonium to reactor fuel. The report compares this with a 400 million annual cost for a downblending option and calls for immediate DOE and SRS infrastructure attention. It notes the facility at SRS is part of a treaty with Russia to dispose of 34 metric tons of plutonium.
