“U.S. Sen. Lamar Alexander and U.S. Rep. David Davis said Wednesday they support openness at a nuclear fuel processing plant where a national secrecy policy prevented the public from learning about a potentially lethal uranium spill in 2006. ‘What we are doing is balancing the national security interest with the community’s right to know interest. There is a lot to be said on either side,’ Alexander said after touring the Nuclear Fuel Services Inc. plant with Davis, the hometown congressman. … The spill of just over 9 gallons of highly enriched uranium solution on March 6, 2006, was not disclosed to the public until the Nuclear Regulatory Commission cited the incident among three significant events in its annual report to Congress in April.” (08/30/07)
