State of Nevada filing in federal court in Nevada – against the State of South Carolina’s request to have a hearing on the unjustified removal of 1 metric ton of plutonium from SRS to Nevada be moved from federal district court in Nevada to South Carolina federal district court, January 23, 2019
From the “PLAINTIFF’S OPPOSITION TO THE STATE OF SOUTH CAROLINA’S MOTION TO TRANSFER VENUE“:
“CONCLUSION
Ultimately, South Carolina has failed to show that this Court should exercise its discretion to transfer this case to the United States District Court for South Carolina. First, South Carolina’s Motion fails to make the threshold showing that Nevada could have properly brought this action in the United States District Court for South Carolina.
Additionally, private and public interests weigh in favor of maintaining this Court as the venue for this case. For these reasons, Nevada requests that this Court deny South Carolina’s Motion to Transfer Venue.”
>>> SRS Watch agrees with the State of Nevada – that the shipment of plutonium from SRS to the Device Assembly Facility (DAF) at the Nevada National Security site is unjustified and poses unnecessary environmental and security risks
