Radioactive appeal

Radioactive appeal Court case should buy Congress time Star Tribune : 06/25/2009  Utah v. EnergySolutions is going into overtime. State officials will join a pair of regional radioactive waste compacts to appeal a dangerous U.S. District Court decision that opened the door to EnergySolution’s Tooele County dump to low-level radioactive waste from Italy. For the sake of Utah’s burgeoning tourism industry and the nation’s nuclear power industry, hopefully the ball will bounce our way…………………………….

ommon sense dictates that low-level radioactive waste is not a commodity, rather, a dangerous material that should remain in the country of origin.

Congress should also act to restore the right of radioactive waste compacts to control the flow of waste into their regions, regardless of whether the disposal facility is privately held or publicly owned.
