German Fuel Rods Diverted From U S Shipment
Fifty spent fuel rods from the Hahn-Meitner Institute in Berlin will not join a larger shipment to Savannah River Site this fall. Ninety-nine other rods remain slated for arrival after September. The 60 rods will go to Dounreay Scotland and be blended to lower grade to remove weapons grade material from international trade. DOE spokeswoman Jane Brady says this meets nonproliferation goals. Germany could not be persuaded to break its agreement with Scotland.
