The Barnwell County landfill in South Carolina will close on July 1, ending its role as the sole disposal site for low level radioactive waste for 39 states. Chem-Nuclear Inc. will shutter operations to all but eight Southeastern states, leaving hospitals and power plants to store waste on site and risking job losses for 59 Barnwell workers and potential disruption to medical treatments relying on nuclear medicine.
