Court Says State Can Proceed With Lawsuit Arising From Radioactive Byproduct Releases

摘要

A federal district court held Feb. 1 that Pennsylvania may proceed with a superfund cost recovery action stemming from the cleanup of a property once contaminated by a radioactive byproduct, despite the fact that the initial handling and release of the material and the state-initiated cleanup were done under licenses issued by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (Pennsylvania DEP v. Lockheed Martin Corp., M.D. Pa., No. 09-821, 2/1/10).
