Illinois plans to appeal a federal judge ruling that struck down the 1980 nuclear waste reciprocity law. The law barred storage of high level spent fuel from states that do not accept Illinois waste, aiming to share burden among states. The Morris facility in Grundy County holds 316 metric tons of waste, including 145 metric tons from Illinois, with 750 metric ton capacity.
