A Senate committee considers a measure to redefine high level waste, potentially allowing 34 million gallons at Savannah River to remain in place with grout instead of deep disposal. The move, backed by Sen. Lindsey Graham, aims to cut cleanup costs by 16 billion and shorten timelines, while Idaho and Washington seek state oversight.
