State troopers rehearse stopping plutonium shipments
In a mock drill near the Savannah River Site Gov. Hodges tested blocking a Colorado plutonium delivery. About thirty troopers and transport police practiced turning away an 18 wheel tractor trailer as federal officers eyed future shipments possibly arriving by mid May. The energy department aims to reprocess the material for reactor fuel. Hodges warned of steps to keep plutonium out of South Carolina and questioned storage plans.

Prison closure threats endanger Baker desert rescue model
Gov. Gray Davis seeks to shut the Baker minimum security prison affecting the town's only local fire and rescue crew for Interstate 15 between Barstow and Nevada. Without the inmate crew, response times could stretch to hours on the desert highway, risking lives amid 100 degree heat and high crash risk. Authorities estimate $900,000 yearly to staff three inmates and $800,000 for a new station, funds the county lacks. Residents and officials warn the move could leave the area vulnerable and delay aid for travelers.
