The decision found DOE and Bush administration actions unreviewable and notes about 2,000 plutonium canisters at Savannah River Site awaiting shipment to Yucca Mountain.

Peggy Ford leads the United Way affiliated Children’s Place and describes mold that forced the 1400 square foot building on Barnwell Avenue to be lifted and removed last Friday. The center, serving about 120 children and previously housing 20 babies, lost a third of its revenue and now seeks a new site on the city’s Northeast side with land for a playground. First Presbyterian Church has offered summer space as the search continues.
