| “Bombplex” Public Hearings |
|
Help change the course of U.S. nuclear weapon policy February 21 – North Augusta, South Carolina Oppose Rebuilding of a New Nuclear Bomb Complex at the Department of Energy’s Savannah River Site (SRS), Aiken, SC The Dept. of Energy's National Nuclear Security Administration has released its draft plan to revitalize the nuclear weapons complex at 8 locations across the country, including SRS right here in South Carolina. The DOE calls the plan “Complex Transformation” (formerly “Complex 2030”). We call it the “Bombplex.” Efforts must be focused on clean-up at SRS, not expensive projects to revive the nuclear arms race. Voice your opposition to ongoing U.S. preparation for mass slaughter in a nuclear war!
Speak Out for Nuclear Disarmament and
for Clean-Up of SRS
Get Active, Not Radioactive!
The draft plan is in the form of a multi-volume Programmatic Environmental Impact Statement. The most important thing to know is that the plan is fundamentally about the future of the U.S. nuclear weapons complex. Do you want to see a revitalized weapons complex with added capabilities to research, develop, test and produce new and militarily modified nuclear bombs? Or, do you want to see the U.S. fully comply with the Non-Proliferation Treaty and play a leadership role in achieving nuclear nonproliferation and disarmament, while cleaning up the huge nuclear mess left over from the Cold War?
