Weren't we promised that no weapons grade products would be produced at Sequoyah when the plant was built? If we want to comply with nuclear non-proliferation, we have to do our part by not manufacturing the materials to begin with. Administrations come and go and we cannot be assured that these materials will not be misused now or at some future date. The program that was to reimburse over exposed nuclear workers at Oak Ridge has had about a 75% rejection rate and has not paid many deserving workers or their families, who have literally given their lives to defend this country. Trust our military with these materials? I think not, in light of their recent use of depleted uranium weapons in Iraq.
