LAS VEGAS (AP) - Nevada sued the federal government Wednesday, accusing it of withholding documents that show the planned Yucca Mountain nuclear dump cannot safely hold the nation's radioactive waste.
The complaint, filed in Reno, is the fourth federal lawsuit the state has pending against the plan to bury 77,000 tons of nuclear waste in the Nevada desert, 90 miles northwest of Las Vegas.
The case seeks the release of a draft application prepared by contractors seeking a Nuclear Regulatory Commission license to open the dump.
