MOX Opens Technical Support Building

Peter Hanlon, Associate Deputy Administrator for the National Nuclear Security Administration’s office of Fissile Material Disposition, attended a ribbon cutting ceremony at the MOX Technical Support Building at the Savannah River Site yesterday. The technical support building will house security, operations and maintenance staff for the MFFF, and personnel will begin moving into the building next week.

“The completion of the technical support building is another milestone in the progress of the MOX project which will remove surplus weapon-grade plutonium from the U.S. nuclear stockpile,” Hanlon said during the ceremony.
