FILE- In this Feb. 9, 2005, file photo, the Savannah rests beside the Sturgis barge, right, which are both anchored near Newport News, Va. The Sturgis is a 440-foot-long World War II Liberty ship that the Army converted into a floating nuclear power plant in 1966. Crews in Galveston, Texas have completed work on the former ship that was converted to a barge-mounted nuclear reactor but has now been cleared of irradiated waste and will be scrapped. The former USS Sturgis will be towed to Brownsville later this month. (Adrin Snider/The Daily Press via AP, File)
