After House Vote What Next For Barnwell
Supporters of a Barnwell County low level radioactive waste facility plan to push the governor's plan through the legislative process as officials across the Southeast seek alternatives. Gov. Campbell aims to keep Chem Nuclear's landfill open until 1996 though state law requires closing this year. A North Carolina facility slated to open next year would be four years from readiness. The landfill serves eight Southeastern states and closing could force a regional plan rework.
