Detroit judge suspends delivery
of radioactive soil


DETROIT (AP) — A judge has stopped the delivery of World War II-era radioactive soil from New York to a Detroit-area landfill.

Wayne County Judge Kevin Cox signed a restraining order Wednesday, two days after a lawsuit was filed.

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers has been managing the removal of low-level radioactive soil from the Manhattan Project in Lewiston, New York.

Wayne Disposal in Van Buren Township is considered the closest licensed facility to take the material.

Critics want time to weigh in on whether the company operating the site should be granted a new state operating license.
