SRS retirees hear from their congressmen
Hundreds of Savannah River Site retirees heard assurances from Sen. Jim DeMint Rep. Gresham Barrett and Rep. Joe Wilson that elected officials back the group at the SRS Retirees Association annual meeting. Barrett called the group a top agenda item and emphasized caring for those who served. DOE officials offered a tentative guarantee that benefits would not change as part of the site management contract. Isakson urged SRS expansion in a letter, arguing plutonium work should stay at the site for national interest. For more, visit stsretirees.org.
