Activists in Utah held a rally at a local Italian restaurant to bring attention to EnergySolutions’ application to import 20,000 tons of radioactive waste from Italy to the U.S, which appears to be most of Italy’s “low” and intermediate level radioactive waste. The waste would come in through the ports of Charleston, SC and New Orleans, LA, be shipped to Tennessee for incineration, other "processing" and “recycling.” Some would be dumped in regular trash in Tennessee and some sent to Utah to be buried.
