Firm gets money for DOE delays

A federal court has awarded Energy Northwest $48.7 million in damages from the Department of Energy for delays in opening a Nevada nuclear repository.

The money reimburses Energy Northwest for building and licensing a used fuel storage area at the Columbia Generating Station in Richland.

The ruling came nearly five years after the U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals determined that DOE breached its contract for failing to accept the utility’s used nuclear fuel.
