But, the NNSA is still accepting public comments up until next Wednesday &#8212; January 17 &#8212; and you can send it in by e-mail.  Please do.<\/p>\n<p>So easy.  So necessary, because you can rest assured that Sister Felonius Lensch (or whoever she is that always gets arrested on Hiroshima Day) and the rest of the tree-hugging NIMBY gang have already provided their input by the ream.<\/p>\n<p>Three options are under consideration:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><font size=\"2\" face=\"Arial\">Alternative 1: No Action<\/font><\/li>\n<li><strong><font size=\"2\" face=\"Arial\">Alternative 2: Proposed Action \u00e2\u20ac\u201c Transform to a Responsive Nuclear  Weapons Complex<\/font><\/strong><\/li>\n<li><font size=\"2\" face=\"Arial\">Alternative 3:  Reduced  Operations\/Capability-Based Complex<\/font><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>In short, option 2 is to expand Y-12&#8217;s capabilities with additional modernization, construction and cleanup, or send the jobs and investment elsewhere (Los Alamos? Sandia? Pantex?).<\/p>\n<p>Y-12 has a better track record on security than the others, and generally has a more supportive home community than most.  However, we&#8217;re closer to other population centers (e.g., Knoxville) than the others, so it&#8217;s critical that people who live here express their support.<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin: 0in 0in 0pt\">To provide your comments, as I already have, send a letter via e-mail to<font size=\"2\" \/><font face=\"Arial\"> <\/font><span class=\"796243619-11012007\"><font size=\"2\" face=\"Arial\"><a title=\"blocked::mailto:Complex2030@nnsa.doe.gov.\" href=\"mailto:Complex2030@nnsa.doe.gov.\"><font size=\"2\" face=\"Arial\" title=\"blocked::mailto:Complex2030@nnsa.doe.gov.\">Complex2030@nnsa.doe.gov.<\/font><\/a><\/font><font size=\"2\" face=\"Arial\">  <\/font><\/span><font size=\"2\" face=\"Arial\">The letter should be directed to:<span class=\"796243619-11012007\"><font size=\"2\" face=\"Arial\"><br \/>\n<\/font><\/span> <\/font>\n<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin: 0in 0in 0pt\"><span class=\"796243619-11012007\" \/><\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin: 0in 0in 0pt\"><span class=\"796243619-11012007\"><font size=\"2\" face=\"Arial\"><\/font><font size=\"2\" face=\"Arial\">Mr.Ted Wyka<\/font><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin: 0in 0in 0pt\"><span class=\"796243619-11012007\"><font size=\"2\" face=\"Arial\"><\/font><font size=\"2\" face=\"Arial\">U.S. Department of Energy<\/font><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin: 0in 0in 0pt\"><span class=\"796243619-11012007\"><font size=\"2\" face=\"Arial\"><\/font><font size=\"2\" face=\"Arial\">National Nuclear Security Administration  (NA-10.1)<\/font><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin: 0in 0in 0pt\"><span class=\"796243619-11012007\"><font size=\"2\" face=\"Arial\"><\/font><font size=\"2\" face=\"Arial\">1000 Independence Avenue, S.W.<\/font><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin: 0in 0in 0pt\"><span class=\"796243619-11012007\"><font size=\"2\" face=\"Arial\"><\/font><font size=\"2\" face=\"Arial\">Washington, DC 20585<\/font><\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><font size=\"2\" face=\"Arial\">Now, back to our regularly scheduled programming&#8230; <\/font><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Back in November, the NNSA had a &#8220;scoping hearing&#8221; in Oak Ridge on the subject of Complex 2030, soliciting public input on options for the future of Y-12.
