SRP Waste Project Clears Big Hurdle
The Savannah River Plant faced a budget hurdle as a $3 million preliminary design funding for a $3 billion radioactive waste solidification facility was approved by the House Armed Services Committee. Rep. Melvin Price and Rep. Butler Derrick negotiated the move, with Derrick hailing it as a step for Aiken County and national waste disposal. The plant aims to employ about 5,000 during construction and 500 once operational by 1989, consolidating stored radioactive waste into solid form, likely glass, at a government site yet to be chosen.
