Senate panel weighs limiting liability for nuclear contractors
The Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee advanced a compromise renewing part of the Price Anderson act while expanding penalties for violations. Du Pont warned it could withdraw from the Savannah River Plant if liability remains too high, as DOE oversight and a watchdog inspector general would monitor safety. The plan would impose fines up to 100000 per day and up to two years’ prison for officials, with a possible immunity for some nonprofit contractors.
