Judge to Feds: Move a Ton of Plutonium from South Carolina
Wednesday, March 22nd, 2017
A federal judge has handed a partial victory to South Carolina in its lawsuit over an unfinished nuclear fuel project, ruling that federal authorities must find somewhere else to store 1 metric ton of plutonium.
In an opinion issued Monday, U.S. District Judge Michelle Childs ruled that she can't make the government immediately remove the materials from South Carolina, as the state had asked. Instead, the judge ordered both sides to agree on a court-enforceable removal schedule.
