Department of Justice Wins Stop To $367M Merger Of Radioactive Waste Firms
A Delaware federal judge on Wednesday, June 21, 2017, blocked the $367 million merger of EnergySolutions Inc. and Waste Control Specialists LLC, (WCS) siding with the U.S. Department of Justice in the government’s bid to enjoin the deal on antitrust grounds. WCS had withdrawn their application for a high-level radioactive waste storage license back in April pending this merger. What this means for the west Texas site is not yet known, but we will keep you updated as we know more.
