The Citizens Advisory Board on nuclear cleanup at the Department of Energy’s Savannah River Site in South Carolina must wait until its next meeting in September before voting on whether to ask the National Nuclear Security Administration to appoint a liaison for the panel’s meetings.
The Citizens Advisory Board officially consults with DOE’s Office of Environmental Management (EM) at the Savannah River. On Oct. 1 EM will turn over its landlord role at the 310-square mile federal property to the National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA).
Due to lack of a quorum, the panel could not take a vote Tuesday on whether to have EM request that NNSA appoint an official to attend advisory board meetings and field questions on the environmental impact of NNSA’s work. The Savannah River Plutonium Processing Facility, which will make pits for nuclear weapons, will also generate a transuranic waste byproduct that will ultimately be hauled to DOE’s Waste Isolation Pilot Plant in New Mexico, Savannah River Site Watch Executive Director Tom Clements told the advisory board. Clements made the remarks during a public comment period.
