Plutonium Disposition Plan Includes Two New SRS Facilities
The plan calls for construction of two facilities plus a MOX fuel fabrication plant at Savannah River Site. It would create about 500 construction jobs and 300 permanent positions at a total 20 year cost of 3.8 billion dollars. The program aims to turn warhead material into electricity and is part of a broader 6.7 billion dollar environmental cleanup funding package.
