Energy Dept. to delay removal of waste from INL

Energy Dept. to delay removal of waste from INL
The Dec. 31 deadline for cleaning up the Idaho National Laboratory's stockpile of radioactive liquid waste will likely be postponed because a storage facility for the material isn't yet operational, said Tom D'Agostino, the department's nuclear security undersecretary. A settlement between Idaho and the federal government requires that all waste from the site be hauled away by 2013. The Spokesman-Review (Spokane, Wash.) (free content)/The Associated Press
