DOE eyes Modern Pit Facility at Savannah River Site
Public hearings begin on a planned Modern Pit Facility to produce nuclear weapon pits. Five sites are under review including Savannah River Site in Aiken County. Project costs range 2.2 to 4.4 billion dollars with 800 construction jobs and 1100 to 1400 permanent roles at SRS over 50 years. DOE aims for a 2020 operation if approved, with a decision due by April 2004. The effort follows a Congress report urging a balance between maintaining current warheads and expanding production capabilities.
