MOX exit plan fight marks decades long plutionium stand
Aiken leaders pressed DOE for a written legally enforceable exit strategy to reclaim plutonium if MOX failed. Letters from Hodges to Spencer Abraham in 2002 urged enforceable terms, while Abraham guaranteed a pathway out, though Hodges warned any agreement could be changed by future administrations. The 2002 defense bill later set removal deadlines and fines if MOX stalled, as critics fear current DOE action risks leaving South Carolina with no plan.
