The proposal would have compensated victims who have been poisoned by their government through nuclear waste, including those in the greater St. Louis area. Without Congressional action, the entire RECA program will expire in the coming months and leave victims without support. The provision was removed despite passing the Senate with strong bipartisan support and receiving an endorsement from President Biden. | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-06T18:56:20Z |
