Graham pushes bipartisan plan to ship plutonium out of South Carolina
South Carolina leaders push a bill with Gov Hodges to force the federal government to move or convert plutonium from the Rocky Flats site. Fines would start in 2011 and reset in 2017 until all material leaves the state. Supporters cite urgency while the Energy Department expresses concerns. The governor vows resistance to any shipments until Congress acts.
