Take Action!!
The National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA) has recently issued a proposal to increase plutonium pit production (the sphere of plutonium that initiates the nuclear explosion) to 80 pits per year by 2030.
Plutonium pit production poses significant health and safety risks and environmental concerns from the disposal of radioactive waste.
There is something we can all do to prevent the production of more plutonium pits; and it is our obligation as stewards of the environment to act.
Before it can go forward with production, the NNSA is required to consider public input. Hearings have taken place across the country but there is still a window of opportunity to speak up!
You can submit comments to NNSA via email at PitPEIS@NNSA.DOE.GOV
or by mail at:
Ms. Jade Fortiner, NEPA Document Manager
Office of Pit Production Modernization
National Nuclear Security Administration
1000 Independence Avenue SW
Washington, DC 20585
It is of utmost importance to do so before JULY 14, 2025, as that is the deadline for public input!
