WOW

This is actually the same process that you suggested to me 5 years ago for Fairfield Maine and it works.

I have the pleasure of knowing Anna/Diana personally and know the love they have for their home. I hope this added visibility puts added pressure on BWXT to do the right thing. As you said, a 7 year old "shouldn’t even know what high-purity depleted uranium is."

This is an expansion to an existing BWXT facility in Jonesborough not a new one. Are there any issues with the existing facility? It would seem the existing facility is being run without issue. Do those opposed have any concrete objections or is it all one big emotional appeal?

This is a new process which has NEVER been done in th US .it is not what has been going on at Aerojet.That was basically a foundry.This is depleted uranium processing of material from Portsmouth plant in Ohio
