The NOI includes a startling revelation: current tritium production operations are releasing three to four times the amount of tritium into the Tennessee River as was predicted in the original 1997 EIS. Producing weapons tritium in a commercial power reactor, which the US has been doing since 2004, violates a long-standing ban on crossing the line between civilian and nuclear power. The United States, in announcing its intention to violate the ban in 1999 asserted the ban was only on “special nuclear materials” and thThe reason for the SEIS, though, is not to admit they have dumped more than 30,000 curies of tritium into the Tennessee River. It’s also not to announce the demand for tritium has been less than they originally expected. No, it is to announce they want to expand tritium production—increasing the number of Tritium Producing Burnable Absorber Rods (TPBARs) by 50%! |
