As political and public pressure increase over the plan to bury Italian radioactive waste at the Tooele County landfill 80 miles west of Salt Lake City, federal regulators and the Utah government are fighting over which agency has final say in the waste proposal.rnUtah's governor, Jon Huntsman Jr. (R), and the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission each insist that they don't have the authority to stop the overseas waste from coming into the United States.
