Positive aspects exist for processing German fuel

There has been an awful lot of heat, but little light, accompanying the “tempest in a tea pot” atmosphere surrounding the proposal to accept German experimental reactor fuel at the Savannah River Site. Politicians are pounding chests, demanding answers to questions that cannot be answered until ongoing research and development at the Savannah River National Laboratory, or SRNL, is completed.

Familiar anti-nuclear, anti-SRS voices are quoted and given credence in our local press without questioning the basis for their protests. Characterizations of SRS being a “dump” for nuclear waste have been incorporated in news articles with the sole intent to sensationalize the issue.
