A push is on to try to stop a private firm from bringing waste from old Italian nuclear plants to Tennessee for processing. EnergySolutions of Utah has asked the Nuclear Regulatory Commission for approval to haul up to 20,000 tons of the material to Oak Ridge, and a Rutherford County group has joined the fight to keep it out. Advertisement "If we don't act quickly, the application will be approved for this enormous shipment, and the doors will be open for all of Europe's nuclear waste to enter the U.S.," Kathy Ferris of Murfreesboro, with Citizens to End Nuclear Dumping in Tennessee, said in an e-mail.
