South Carolina Nuclear Waste Facility Seeks 160 Million Startup Funds
The Savannah River Site plans to fund about 160 million dollars to finish commissioning the Salt Waste Processing Facility by spring. The project will separate cesium and actinides from tank salt, sending them to the Defense Waste Processing Facility for glassification while the salt solution goes to on site disposal. The facility, lagging since a 2015 startup deadline, faces potential fines near 170 million dollars as state regulators discuss delays. Derrek Asberry reports for the Aiken Standard.
