Scott seeks MOX support from DOE for Savannah River facility
U.S. Sen Tim Scott and several South Carolina lawmakers urge the Department of Energy to complete the MOX facility at the Savannah River Site to honor the Plutonium Management and Disposition Agreement and counter proposed FY2014 MOX cuts. The letter cites potential $1 billion extra taxpayer costs and job losses affecting five counties including Aiken Allendale Barnwell and Richmond Columbia. The group invites DOE Secretary Ernest Moniz to visit SRS to witness the program's importance to the region.
