MOX gets MASHED! DOE, After All the Painful Years of the MOX Mess Dragging On & On, Says MOX Boondoggle is to be Terminated
DOE Budget Calls for Termination of for Mismanaged Plutonium Fuel (MOX) Project at DOE’s Savannah River Site; Secretary Moniz says MOX Plant Cost will be “Written Off”
Will Senator Graham Again Protect Special Interests and Continue to Cover-up Construction Problems or Finally Demand Accountability of DOE, NNSA and CB&I AREVA MOX Services for the Boondoggle?
Columbia, SC – To no surprise of those closely tracking the myriad of cost and construction problems with the project, the U.S. Department of Energy has proposed that the plutonium fuel (MOX) project at the Savannah River Site (SRS) n South Carolina be terminated.
The DOE’s MOX project, far over budget and far behind schedule, is proposed to be halted in the Fiscal Year 2017 budget request sent to Congress on February 9, 2016. The budget request is for $270 million for MOX plant construction, just enough to being the process to shut the project down.
Please help SRS Watch in its on-going effort to demand accountability of DOE, NNSA and CB&I AREVA MOX Services personnel for allowing this abuse of the tax payer to develop and to continue for far too long.
