SRP cooling pond hearing exposes protracted environmental opposition
The Savannah River Plant faces a $25 million cooling pond plan amid heavy environmentalist challenges. DOE spent about $5 million on an environmental impact statement since 1980, with critics arguing the pond wastes public money and delays reactor operation, while defenders say the plant’s defense role justifies its continuation. Dr. W P Bebbington urges a sane approach and notes the wood stork and red cockaded woodpecker impacts, asserting no private plants compare to SRP.
