Save The Uranium-233
Sign Now
Dear Senator Voinovich,
The United States Department of Energy plans to spend $300 million on down blending and destroying a 500kg stockpile of uranium-233 at Oak Ridge National Laboratories by year 2012.
Uranium-233 is a man made substance that cannot be replaced since the infrastructure required to produce it no longer exists. According to DOE/IG-0795, uranium-233 is a valuable substance filled with isotopes that can treat up to 6,000 cancer patients per year and is an essential catalyst for using thorium in a molten salt nuclear reactor. Simply maintaining the stockpile is estimated to cost merely $60,000 per year.
We, the undersigned, request you and other senators order the Department of Energy to save the uranium-233 stockpile from destruction.

Lets save a few Million and maintain it for a few years... I am sure we can find a better way to spend that money... Like Education, or Research, so that in the future we aren't destroying it but ut
