SALT LAKE CITY -
Congressman, Jim Matheson is one step closer to getting what he wants when the House of Representatives approved the bill that will ban imports of radioactive waste for disposal in the U.S. and Utah. Utah company, Energy Solutions wants to import 20 tons of low level waste from Italy for it to be processed in Tennessee and buried in Utah's west desert. It has been a long and heated debate between Energy Solutions and environmentalists.
"We are disappointed that the House of Representatives voted to place American jobs at risk. If signed into law, this bill will prevent American companies from playing an international role in the global nuclear energy industry," said Engergy Solutions President Val Christensen, in a statement released .
