Tritium release at SRS described as routine
Westinghouse Savannah River Co reports a 670 curie tritium release last week at SRS in a 1950s facility during melting of irradiated rods. A spokesman cited a 400 curie limit and DOE reporting if exceeded, while the process is part of normal operations. In Greenville, the NAACP plans a June 21 one day boycott of white owned businesses to protest racial hatred, with leaders to meet the Chamber of Commerce to discuss concerns like the Confederate flag.
