Costs for new nuclear facility skyrocket as critics question its creation

foxnews.com - WASHINGTON – Plans for a new facility that will handle, dismantle and secure nuclear material are in a major meltdown.The price tag attached to the country’s largest uranium processing facility under the direction of the Department of Energy has climbed to more than 19 times its original estimate. What’s worse is that much of the Tennessee complex, according to the government’s own calculations, isn’t needed and the rest will most likely be outdated when the facility becomes fully operational -- two decades from now.
