Traduction automatique locale · Langue originale de la source
Résumé
The Department of Energy (DOE) announces the availability of the Final Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) for the Continued Operation of the Pantex Plant and Associated Storage of Nuclear Weapon Components (DOE/EIS-0225). The Department's preferred alternative is to continue nuclear weapons operations at the Pantex Plant, located near Amarillo, Texas; to implement projects and facility upgrades consistent with conducting these operations; and to increase the interim storage level for plutonium components (pits) from 12,000 to 20,000 pits. The Final EIS also evaluates a No Action Alternative and a Relocation of Interim Pit Storage Alternative.
