U S Accepts Nuclear Fuel From Foreign Reactors
The United States will take in 20 metric tons of spent nuclear fuel from foreign research reactors and send nearly all to the Savannah River complex in South Carolina. Energy Secretary Hazel O Leary framed the move as a key national security effort to keep material safe on U S shores. South Carolina officials oppose sending waste to Savannah River, citing lack of long term storage plans. A separate note says four congressmen urge cancelation of a third Andrews AFB golf course, reallocating 5.1 million to military daycare. They argue the course is an accounting trick reducing transparency in federal spending.

The Labor Department notes consumer prices rose 2.5 percent last year, the second-lowest rise in three decades. Economists say the economy is less inflation-prone and households and firms no longer expect automatic price increases. A tight market, cost control, and a December CPI of 0.2 percent supported a gentle 1996 outlook amid global competition.
