The U.S. Department of Energy has contracted
with the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) to
produce tritium for the nation’s nuclear
weapons stockpile at the TVA Watts Bar and
Sequoyah nuclear power plants. Tritium is a
critical component of thermonuclear weapons
and needs to be replenished because it is a
radioactive substance with a short (12.3
years) half-life. The nation currently has no
tritium production facilities capable of
meeting the demands of the stockpile. This
report provides a background discussion about
tritium, describes the process that led up to
the DOE decision, relates congressional
appropriations and authorization actions, and
analyzes the important issues that were
debated during the decision-making process.
These issues are not completely resolved and
might arise again as actual production
approaches.
