Savannah River Site eyed for plutonium pit production
A 1997 DOE report says Savannah River Site and Oak Ridge could test a modern plutonium pit production system by 2018, creating up to 33 600 gallons of high level waste annually. The plan faces political and policy hurdles as officials discuss storing excess weapons-grade plutonium and potential shifts in US nuclear strategy.

Trustee displays faith placard at board meeting
Aiken County Board of Education trustee Larry Murphy placed a two sided placard reading In God We Trust and God Bless America on his desk. Superintendent Linda Eldridge laughed but no one commented, as the board continues to begin meetings with an invocation. The attorney notes rulings limit religious expression in public schools but not at school boards where attendees are not a captive audience.
