South Carolina House Backs Ban on SRS Nuclear Waste
The South Carolina House passed a resolution urging Congress to reject Savannah River Site as temporary storage for high level nuclear waste. The measure, supported by Rep. Joe Wilder and Rep. Billy Keyserling, passed 68 to 36 though it has no legal effect. The debate cited Barnwell’s 12.4 percent unemployment and 1,500 planned job cuts at SRS. Gov Campbell opposed storage at SRS.
