South Carolina Water Pollution Claims Debunked by State Official
The SC DHEC Bureau of Water chief rebuts PIRG allegations in a long defense of the state's water quality. He notes PIRG used skewed SNC calculations from the EPA PCS, overstates major facility violations, and seeks federal bills by misrepresenting data. He cites actual ECS compliance and urges vigilance without causing alarm.

Senators push amendment to store spent fuel in Nevada test site
South Carolina senators back an amendment in a Senate bill to create a temporary storage facility at the Nevada test site for 39,000 tons of spent fuel from U.S. power plants until permanent Yucca Mountain storage is ready. They argue it prevents South Carolina from becoming a nationwide dumping ground and advocate reprocessing spent fuel as a safer long-term solution. Nevada and other senators oppose Nevada storage and expect a Clinton veto if the House passes the measure, leaving reprocessing as the probable future path.
