印第安纳州批准2000万美元为 Lebanon 市 LEAP 园区再购185英亩土地 Oklo 核项目引争议
印第安纳州预算委员会11月10日在州议会大厦举行听证会后，以4比1的投票结果批准向印第安纳经济发展公司拨款2000万美元，用于在Lebanon市LEAP园区再购买185英亩土地。这笔土地将用于推进代号“凤凰计划”的项目，由加州核技术公司Oklo建设医用放射性同位素生产设施。听证会气氛一度紧张，多名州议员和纳税人质疑该机构在LEAP园区已有数千英亩土地尚未开发的情况下为何还要购地，并要求对项目代号和土地用途提高透明度。印第安纳经济发展公司特别法律顾问马克·沃斯基表示，Oklo目前主要计划利用该地块生产医用放射性同位素。预算委员会的批准只是资金层面的放行，“凤凰计划”整体落地仍须经过县政府审批、地方区划法规和社区听证等一系列程序。州参议员法迪·卡杜拉等议员在会上对购地必要性提出质疑，认为纳税人有权了解全部细节。LEAP园区位于Lebanon市，是印第安纳州重点打造的大型产业园区。
Indiana Approves $20 Million to Buy 185 More Acres for Lebanon LEAP District as Oklo Nuclear Project Draws Scrutiny
INDIANAPOLIS — After a hearing at the Statehouse on November 10, Indiana's State Budget Committee voted 4–1 to approve $20 million for the Indiana Economic Development Corporation (IEDC) to buy another 185 acres in the LEAP district in Lebanon.
The land would advance a project code-named the "Phoenix Project," in which California nuclear-technology company Oklo would build a facility producing medical radioisotopes. The hearing grew tense at times, as several state lawmakers and taxpayers questioned why the agency needs more land when thousands of acres it already holds in the LEAP district remain undeveloped, and demanded greater transparency about the project's code name and land use.
Mark Wasky, special counsel to the IEDC, said Oklo currently plans mainly to produce medical radioisotopes on the site. The committee's vote releases funding only; the Phoenix Project as a whole still must pass county approval, local zoning rules and community hearings. State Sen. Fady Qaddoura was among the lawmakers who questioned the necessity of the purchase, saying taxpayers have a right to know the full details.
The LEAP district, in the city of Lebanon, is a large industrial park the state has made a flagship development project.
