"A federal appeals court panel has delivered the second legal defeat in three weeks to a company seeking to build and operate a low-level nuclear waste dump in the Mojave Desert. A three-judge panel of the District of Columbia Circuit of the U.S. Court of Appeals on Tuesday dismissed the case of US Energy Inc. The case sought to force the U.S. Department of Interior to sell a 1.7-square-mile Ward Valley site to the state of California for use as a radioactive waste dump."
