Last Shot at Saving his Favorite Boondoggle Next Year, but his Approach could Backfire, Spelling Doom for Workers who would be Involved in Project Termination and Facility Repurposing
The bogus save-MOX amendment by Senator Graham in the Senate Armed Services Committees would disallow any funds from being spent on project termination or reuse of the MOX plant. His effort runs counter to what was done last week in the House Armed Services Committee – approved DOE’s MOX termination approach – and in the Senate Appropriations Committee – approved $220 million for MOX termination & $0 for construction, for Fiscal Year 2019. Meanwhile, DOE continues with the congressionally approved MOX-termination approach.
