State utility regulators file petition over Nuclear Waste Fund

State utility regulators file petition over Nuclear Waste Fund
The National Association of Regulatory Utility Commissioners filed a petition for review in a federal appeals court in Washington, D.C., over a federal decision that requires utilities to keep contributing to the Nuclear Waste Fund. The utility regulators sought to suspend payments because of the government's failure to dispose of nuclear waste, but the Department of Energy denied their request in October.
