Judge orders halt against Powertech uranium license

Judge issues stay against Powertech uranium license http://rapidcityjournal.com/news/local/judge-issues-stay-against-powertech-uranium-license/article_caa4abb9-6082-5ffd-9da3-5b8a3754bc3d.html  30 April 14, Joe O’Sullivan Journal staff A panel of judges Wednesday issued a temporary stay against the operating license Powertech Uranium Corp. received earlier this month by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission. 

The ruling, made by three administrative judges on the Atomic Safety and Licensing Board suspends the first official approval Powertech has gotten to operate its proposed Dewey-Burdock mine near Edgemont.

The stay, which both uranium supporters and opponents expected, will allow uranium opponents more time to make their case against the proposal.
