EnergySolutions loses first round
A regional agency moved to block EnergySolutions from importing foreign nuclear waste to its dump in Tooele. The eight member states in the Northwest Interstate Compact on Low-level Radioactive Waste unanimously voted that the EnergySolutions' contract does not permit waste from foreign sources.Val John Christensen, general counsel for EnergySolutions, assured the panel that foreign waste transactions have been routine, and most opposition is based on a "not in my backyard" attitude.
Round 2: EnergySolutions this week filed a federal lawsuit questioning whether the compact has the power to block it from importing foreign waste.
