The group divided on large projects versus a 10 million dollar nonprofit and small business focus with 1 to 2 million per member. The next meeting is set for September 16 at the Government Center.

MOX canceled but pit production pursues U.S. core warhead needs
In 2018 the Savannah River Site MOX facility was canceled amid court rulings and cost promises. Officials say MOX failed while a U.S. driven pit production plan aims to meet Strategic Command needs, with 80 plutonium cores required by 2030 and Los Alamos and SRP sites to fill gaps. Community voices and Veto pressures frame the shift.
