TELFORD, Tenn. (WJHL) — In Washington County, two prominent figures leading a community-driven initiative are optimistic that local officials will align with their opposition against the proposed expansion of a high-purity depleted uranium (HPDU) facility, despite a substantial $1.6 billion federal contract being at stake.

“I trust that our commissioners will make the right decision,” expressed Gabriel Wilson, a resident living near BWX Technologies’ depleted uranium plant, situated roughly 1.5 miles from David Crockett High School, during his conversation with News Channel 11 on Friday.

“Ultimately, the welfare of Washington County’s residents should be their paramount concern. Their responsibilities include safeguarding our water resources and preserving our natural environment, which are fundamental aspects of zoning regulations,” Wilson emphasized.
