"As a supporter of the Plutonium Management and Disposition Agreement that led to the creation of the MOX Fabrication Facility, I have successfully fought for funding for the project as a senior member on the House Armed Services Committee. I fought back against President Barack Obama when his administration first attempted to shut down MOX, and I have spoken on the House floor every year since in support of this project. Currently, South Carolina is at risk of becoming a de-facto repository for weapons grade plutonium, and I will continue to support all efforts to complete MOX. | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-06-27T23:08:35Z |
