A federal district court dismissed a uranium mining company's lawsuit seeking to overturn Virginia's decades-old moratorium on mining of the radioactive ore (Va. Uranium Inc. v. McAuliffe, W.D. Va., No. 4:15CV00031, 12/2/2015). Judge Jackson L. Kiser, sitting in the Danville, Va., division of the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Virginia, ruled Dec. 2 that the federal Atomic Energy Act doesn't preempt the state's uranium mining moratorium statute. Virginia Uranium filed the lawsuit Aug. 5 (46 ER 2357, 8/7/15). Asked if the decision would be appealed, Julie Rau-tio, a company spokeswoman, said its lawyers are reviewing Riser's ruling.
