Thurmond Helps Announce NPR Plant at Savannah River
Senator Strom Thurmond received a standing ovation in Aiken as he announced a proposed Nuclear Production Reactor for the Savannah River Plant. DOE officials backed NPR with heavy water tech, while Idaho would host a smaller gas cooled reactor as a backup. The NPR, costing 2 to 4 billion dollars, would create about 3000 construction jobs over ten years and supply tritium and plutonium for U.S. weapons. Local leaders hailed the project as an economic boon and Thurmond touted his persistent efforts to bring NPR to SRP.
