Lawsuit Targets U.S.-Canada Nuclear Waste Transport Plan

摘要

U.S. plans to truck liquid nuclear waste 1,100 miles from Canada to South Carolina are under attack in U.S. court by a coalition of environmental groups. The coalition this month asked the U.S. District Court in Washington to block the shipments, claiming the U.S. Department of Energy has failed to conduct an environmental assessment of the project as required by US law.
