Permit appeals over nuclear laundry in residential area
Interstate Nuclear Services challenges a five year permit issued by DHEC for a nuclear laundry plant in Columbia arguing the permit is too strict. Opponents say the facility should not be licensed in a residential area and fear risks to nearby neighborhoods. Sierra Club and local groups allege insufficient study of contamination threats tied to cleaning clothing for the Savannah River Site. A hearing by an administrative judge is expected this spring, with a decision likely 45 to 60 days after the hearing.
