Derrick urged to support Barnwell plant operation and nuclear waste bill
A letter defends U S Representative Butler Derrick for opposing government subsidies but supporting private operation of the Barnwell Nuclear Fuel Plant. It argues the government must assure a market, notes over 300 million already invested, and warns that defeating the nuclear waste disposal bill would delay waste moves and harm South Carolina jobs and electricity generation. The piece accuses Derrick of aiding anti nuclear activists and calls for realism on jobs and energy supply.
