Tritium Supply and Recycling
On May 14, 1999, DOE published a consolidated record of decision (ROD) based on DOE/EIS-0161, Tritium Supply and Recycling, and the EISs tiered from it: DOE/EIS-0270, Accelerator Production of Tritium at the Savannah River Site; DOE/EIS-0271, Tritium Extraction Facility at Savannah River Site; and DOE/EIS-0288, Production of Tritium in a Commercial Light Water Reactor.
The consolidated ROD selected the commercial light water reactor alternative as the primary tritium supply and announced three tiered decisions that, taken together, comprised DOE’s plans for establishing a new domestic source of tritium to support the nuclear weapons stockpile.
