I mean, walking around Watts Bar, which is just about to begin to produce electricity in our region.

Thanks, Mr. Chairman.

Tell me--tell me where they are.

So Senator Graham and others are right to want an answer to that.

That's four, three, and two.

And under existing agreements, there is room in the New Mexico facility for all 13 tons.

we must solve the 25-year-old stalemate about what to do about waste from the reactors

So four under construction.

it's nice to work with her in an effective and bipartisan way.

It seems to me that Senator Feinstein has raised some issues we need to pursue.

But the bottom line I think, if we cannot use that fund, there are zero dollars in your budget for cleaning up uranium enrichment sites in Tennessee, Kentucky, and Ohio.

What kind of reactors do you consider to be advanced reactors?

The taxpayers are going to want to know from us why we are spending $500 million to $800 million a year on something where we could have saved that much money.

So we're talking about, according to those figures, saving a half billion dollars a year?

You have previously stated that nearly 5 tons of plutonium have already been disposed of at WIPP using the same process you plan to use for the 6 tons in South Carolina that have nothing to do with the Russian agreement.

we ought to proceed on all these tracks at once.
