stripes - Los Alamos lab may face greater demand for plutonium pits

Los Alamos lab may face greater demand for plutonium pits
by

(Tribune News Service) The plutonium pit factory at Savannah River Site in South Carolina will take years longer and cost billions of dollars more to ramp up than previously planned, which could push Los Alamos National Laboratory to make more nuclear bomb cores to fill the gap, watchdog groups say.
For the past three years, plans have called for the Los Alamos lab to produce 30 plutonium warhead triggers by 2026 and Savannah River to make 50 by 2030, but the latter is proving much more costly and nettlesome than anticipated.
Jill Hruby, the nominee to head the National Nuclear Security Administration, said in a U.S. Senate hearing last week that Savannah River might not fully operate until 2035. ....

SANTA FE – Something big – as in billions – is happening at Los Alamos National Laboratory.
......................
As part of efforts to ramp up the upgrade of the U.S. nuclear arsenal, LANL, along with the Savannah River Site in South Carolina, have been tasked with manufacturing hundreds of plutonium pits, the element within the core of a nuclear warhead that sets off the explosion.
The project will cost in the tens of billions of dollars between the two national laboratories over the next 10 years, with a big chunk of it directed to the construction of pit production facilities and installation of infrastructure at LANL, the birthplace of the atomic bo ....

Santa Fe’s relationship with Los Alamos National Laboratory has been rocky for years.
The City Council, with some regularity, has passed resolutions of concern about the nuclear weapons lab’s environmental impact and radioactive materials safety lapses, the production of weapons parts in Los Alamos and the proliferation of nuclear weapons in general.
A 2005 council resolution recognized as “immoral the notion that human security can ever be built upon instruments of mass destruction and the will to use them.” The City Council called for rejection of “all proposals to build new or expanded factories for nuclear weapons and nuclear weapons components.” ....

Nuclear agency had set sights on SF Midtown campus

Copyright © 2021 Albuquerque Journal
SANTA FE – The National Nuclear Security Administration wanted to acquire the “entirety” of Santa Fe’s 64-acre Midtown property and partner with the city and other contractors with the redevelopment of the St. Michael’s Drive corridor, according to a proposal submitted to the city in October 2019.
The Midtown campus has remained mostly vacant since the Santa Fe University of Art and Design closed in 2018. (Eddie Moore/Albuquerque Journal)
The Department of Energy/NNSA proposal was not picked by a committee selected to vet the responses, but the firm that was chosen has since backed out.
NNSA now says it is no longer interested in the former campus of the Santa Fe University of Art and Design, which closed in 2018. ....

The radio ad sounds ominous.
“What you are about to hear is not based on a Steven King horror story,” it begins. “It is a true horror story that can affect you and your family.”

The ad, paid for by a woman in Eldorado, warns that even more surplus radioactive waste produced at Los Alamos National Laboratory will be shipped “past your house” along a route on N.M. 599 to Interstate 25 to U.S.285.
