European Stars and Stripes (Newspaper) - September 15, 1994, Darmstadt, Hesse Page 6 the stars and stripes . Thursday september 15,1994europe s spent nuclear fuel blocked Columbia . Apr a Federal judge ignored the governments warnings tuesday and blocked the shipment of spent nuclear fuel from Europe for storage at a . Weapons material Plant in South Carolina. The . Energy department argued that stopping the shipments would undermine the nations policy of discouraging use of material that can be used to make nuclear weapons. . District judge Matthew Perry said the potential for harm to the state was much greater than that to the Federal government. Perry turned his restraining order issued Friday into a preliminary injunction that could Block the two shipments indefinitely. The ruling came on a lawsuit filed by the state the latest Salvo in Republican gov. Carroll Campbells opposition to the plan to store the fuel rods at the Savannah River site near Aiken. Campbell said the waste can be safely stored at foreign reactors or reprocessed into More stable forms. ,. The Energy department has said it had no Choice but to accept the first shipment of 153 spent fuel rods from Europe. When the United states sold the fuel it agreed to take it Back to limit proliferation. Officials said the shipment was already on two ships heading for the United states. A second shipment of More than 250 rods was scheduled within six months . Attorney general Travis Mudlock said. A if the material enters South Carolina this Case is essentially Over As to that material. The Chance of the material being exported Back to the original reactor locations is infinitesimal a Perry wrote. A the plaintiffs will thus Host the material for years and probably for decades without full environmental review. On the other hand requiring the status quo to be preserved for the relatively Short time necessary to resolve the merits of this Case will pose no threat to safety.�?�. Perry ordered Federal and state officials to file motions in an a expeditious manner so the Case can be decided quickly. A Energy Secretary Hazel of Leary said the Agency would ask the Justice department to examine Perry a ruling. A the department has acted responsibly and will continue to pursue the acceptance of this fuel into the United states a of Leary said. The Energy department warned in court papers that without being Able to return spent fuel to the United states a reactor operators would be driven to reprocessing spent highly enriched fuel and they would be forced to seek alternative suppliers such As the former soviet Union and Medlock said the question Isnit the credibility of the nations nuclear nonproliferation policy but the Federal governments compliance with its own Laws. A a it a time for the state to stand up and say we re not going to become the dumping ground for International nuclear waste a he said.
