Lawmakers insert funding for Ohio nuclear project in Senate bill

Lawmakers insert funding for Ohio nuclear project in Senate bill
Sens. Rob Portman, R-Ohio, and Sherrod Brown, D-Ohio, inserted $150 million in the Senate's transportation bill for USEC's American Centrifuge Project in Ohio. The bill cleared the Senate by a 74-22 vote. The project "isn't just an important job creator in southern Ohio, it's also a critical component of our national security. That's why we see bipartisan support in the Senate for continued research and development," Brown said in a statement. The Columbus Dispatch (Ohio) (3/14), FuelFix.com
