COMBINED PIT DISASSEMBLY AND CONVERSION PROJECT TO COST $4.5-4.8B

摘要

Plans to combine the National Nuclear Security Administration's pit disassembly and conversion project with another Department of Energy effort at the Savannah River Site is expected to cost between $4.5 and $4.8 billion, a figure that is anticipated to be a slightly cheaper alternative than building a standalone PDCF facility, NW&M Monitor has learned. That option appears to also offer another significant advantage in terms of schedule, according to analysis that was recently submitted to the NNSA.
