Thurmond pushes for plutonium plant funds in Aiken
Senator Strom Thurmond calls for restoring funding for the Savannah River Site plutonium immobilization plant after the Energy Department halted construction and design work. He warns the pause could threaten Russia plutonium disposition pacts while noting the department will focus on a mixed oxide fuel plant costing about 3 billion. Nearby Tank 6 at SRS shows a 750,000 gallon tank with a 90 gallon leak, and engineers plan to transfer about 40,000 gallons to another tank to lower levels.
