Hanford official foresees no SRP plant and defense supply role
Hanford spokesman says there are no plans to build a similar plant at the Savannah River Site. If the NPR moves elsewhere and SISP succeeds, the Aiken facility can still supply materials for the nation’s weapons programs. Savannah River remains the principal tritium source and will be for years, with some plutonium production as well.

U S Fish and Wildlife Service notes the lake is acceptable but favors recirculating towers. Arguments compare 33 cooling options and seven thermal mitigations and cite costs, habitat impacts, and river temperatures.
