Restart Testing Endorsed for K Reactor at SRS
Department of Energy plans prestart and system tests to reactivate the 40 year old K Reactor at Savannah River Site. Site manager Peter M. Hekman Jr reports community leaders were invited to a three day strategic planning session in June to map future site relations with local industry and education as SRS adapts to global changes. He urged stronger proactive outreach to leverage the site's human, technological, and research assets for economic stability in the state. He noted surprise that leaders have not yet approached his office to build a productive link for the future, warning that without action SRS could face negative outcomes in 20 years.
