Hobson criticizes MPF scope and lab funding stance
Rep. Hobson argues the proposed modern pit facility will be far smaller than planned and questions the science to build it. He cites high costs of a single pit and urges cost effective science while delaying MPF and opposing extra Savannah River National Laboratory funding without consultation. He supports two-way lab competition, Yucca Mountain funding, and the SRS waste tank closure plan pending a third study.
