Du Pont withdraws from Savannah River Plant in 1989
In a October 29 press conference at the Savannah River Plant Du Pont officials announced the company would end its association with the U S Department of Energy when the current operating contract expires in September 1989. The move follows concerns over civil liability protections and shifts away from nuclear material production. The announcement spurred discussion of who might operate SRP next as a government study urged a single contractor and a new reactor boost.
