Comments about ‘EnergySolutions to be sold to private equity firm’

"We need to remain vigilant that the new EnergySolutions follows the law and doesn't jeopardize the health and safety of Utahns, said Christopher Thomas, HEAL Utah's executive director."

"We worry that a private equity firm . . . may sacrifice safety standards for quick returns on their new investment," Thomas said.

When a company, like Energy Solutions, is allowed to bring nuclear and other hazardous waste in from other states or countries, the health and safety of Utahns has already been jeopardized.
