State backs NPR DOE plan for New Production Tosca at SRS
State and local leaders rallied to urge locating a New Production Reactor at the Savannah River Site. If built, the site could provide 64 000 jobs at peak construction and boost payroll and income beyond 1 8 billion, with state and regional effects totaling over 750 million in business income and 153 million in tax revenues. If not sited at SRS, unemployment could rise to about 16 percent with 13 905 site jobs disappearing and income drops exceeding 900 million.

Pryor who say the test is unreliable and may misdiagnose ischemic heart disease in a significant share of cases. The SSA says tests would be part of a broader medical review and public comments will follow.
