Courts Set Next Battlefield Over WIPP Waste Dump
The EPA certified the $2 billion Waste Isolation Pilot Plant in New Mexico as safe to store plutonium waste, and Energy Secretary Pena says the first shipment could begin June 19. Environmentalists vow to obtain a federal injunction to delay openings, while DOE and EPA officials anticipate legal wins. The project faces strong local support in Carlsbad and organized opposition in Santa Fe. WIPP would receive about 37,000 shipments over 30 years, with rooms planned to collapse after filling.
