Description

As you may know, the recent federal reconciliation bill increased the budget for

expanded plutonium pit production at the Savannah River Site, located in South

Carolina, by one billion dollars. Yes, one billion dollars in one year! A “pit” is the

plutonium core of a nuclear weapon. The Department of Energy (DOE) plans to

fabricate 50 plutonium pits per year there.
