Energy chief envisions US nuclear renaissance: restoring ‘pit’ production, localizing nuke power
Fox News
Energy Secretary Chris Wright's early goals for the U.S. include manufacture of Plutonium 'pits' and more development of nuclear SMRs or Small Modular Reactors.
Wright suggested he wants to see the plan realized, as the same Energy Department laboratory in New Mexico where J. Robert Oppenheimer helped develop the atom bomb is reportedly working to return to earnest pit production. Charles Creitz is a reporter for Fox News Digital.
The U.S. has never imported plutonium pits but also hasn’t done any such major manufacturing since the end of the Cold War. He joined Fox News in 2013 as a writer and production assistant.
Charles covers media, politics and culture for Fox News Digital.
