This week I introduced and passed an amendment to the FY 2019 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) which prohibits the Department of Energy (DOE) from terminating the MOX program at Savannah River Site.

The Dept of @ENERGY has abandoned MOX, but Congress hasn’t.
The new plan from DOE is to take the material, dilute it and dispose of it in New Mexico. Problem with that approach is it won’t work and the NM delegation in the Senate does not support the material going there..

We have the opportunity to prevent
@ENERGY from repeating mistakes of the past. We know MOX works and we know dilute and dispose has problems that appear to be insurmountable.Show this thread -
I also appreciate SC Governor
@henrymcmaster for sending his Legal Counsel to today’s meeting. Governor McMaster is working side by side with us to ensure the federal government keeps its promise to SC. I truly appreciate his leadership and support!Show this thread
