Medlock seeks working relations amid SRP restart dispute
South Carolina Attorney General Travis Medlock urged cooperation with Savannah River Plant officials after visiting the site and meeting SRP representatives. He framed the restart dispute as a possible vindication of his NEPA stance yet cautioned the need to balance environmental safeguards with defense and economic concerns. The visit signals a likely easing of the DOE state confrontation as both sides pursue a mutual path to address safety and regulatory issues.
