Tritium plan attacked by researcher over safety concerns

A nuclear researcher from the Institute for Energy and Environmental Research criticizes DOE plans to produce tritium at TVA reactors. He urges full environmental and safety analyses and an independent review, warning of birth defects from exposure and questioning the risk of converting civilian reactors. Energy Secretary Pena must decide by December on TVA use or an alternative site.

Watts Bar tritium test cited as one indicator

Sohinki notes Watts Bar and Energy Department site tests over years show tritium can be safely produced and independent reviews will continue. Makhijani counters the plan creates false hope for jobs, arguing demand may fall post Cold War, despite supporters claiming 2,500 Bellefonte jobs over five years if approved.
