EnergySolutions has gone to court to protect its plan to import low-level nuclear waste from Italy. The Salt Lake City nuclear waste services company filed a lawsuit Monday asking the U.S. District Court in Utah to rule that a regional organization, the Northwest Interstate Compact on Low-Level Radioactive Waste Management, has no authority over its Utah disposal site. At a meeting planned for Thursday in Boise, Idaho, the eight member states of the compact are to consider whether to give explicit approval for the importation of foreign waste to the EnergySolutions disposal facility in Tooele County.
