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.
