Plutonium Pit Production at LANL – A Community Briefing and Discussion

In this meeting Greg Mello, Los Alamos Study Group director, will provide detailed background and analysis regarding LANL’s new pit production mission, now accounting for more than one-third of NNSA expenditures at LANL.

We will discuss the purpose, need, projected budget, and some of the project impacts, as well as progress on the more permanent pit production facility in South Carolina.

Greg and his Study Group colleagues have been working in New Mexico, in Washington DC, and internationally on nuclear weapons issues since 1989.
