Matheson and Corron ask state officials to maintain rules on disposal of low-level radioactive waste

SALT LAKE CITY (ABC 4 News) - Congressman Jim Matheson and Salt Lake County Mayor Peter Corroon urged state officials to maintain rules governing disposal of low-level radioactive waste. 

Those laws protect against "hotter" nuclear waste coming to Utah.

The two spoke out following an announcement by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission saying its rule making process regarding the disposal of blended radioactive waste is at least a year or two from completion.
