K Reactor restart bill seeks Senate support
Sen Hammill advances a bill to redirect remaining restart funds from environmental cleanup to restart efforts at K Reactor. The reactor idle for four years has cost over 1 billion dollars.

The DOE said much of the concern was unwarranted. The bill’s fate remains uncertain.
