In response to Rick Frommer’s letter blaming South Carolina Democrats for failure of a private nuclear waste recycling venture at the U.S. Department of Energy’s Savannah River site, I don’t think it matters which party controlled the state. I’m confident the U.S. public would not support allowing private corporations to handle and process radioactive nuclear waste that will still be deadly thousands of years from now. Not when that waste could be disposed or dumped secretly or repurposed for a weapon.
