DOE Reactor Funds Approved In Defense Bill
The 290 billion Defense Authorization Bill includes a 20 million allocation for a new nuclear production reactor. Energy Secretary Herrington must report a reactor strategy by Feb 1 and indicate where the first new generation reactor will be built, with Savannah River Plant favored by Rep. Butler Derrick. Construction could begin in 1989 after a one year option period, creating about 4,000 construction jobs.

It notes a “cabal of zealots” controlled policy, with some weapons profits diverted to the Contras and a second channel mirroring the first channel’s Iranian leaders.
