Frank Church and Thurmond clash over plutonium clash in Senate
The scene centers on Sen. Frank Church and Sen. Strom Thurmond as they confront the Clinch River breeder reactor and plutonium policy. Church, once a nuclear skeptic, becomes a realist advocate for plutonium while Thurmond defends the home state's energy project. Dale Bumpers adds a call for moral leadership and alternative energy research as Carter pursues limited nuclear reforms. The piece portrays shifting loyalties, policy battles, and the Senate's push to advance plutonium technology despite opposition and safety concerns.
