At the same time, the court de- clinedto protect the government from lawsuits fromutilities seeking billions of dollars in damages because they must now hang on to their volatile waste piles for up to a dozen more years, at heavy cost The government estimates that it will not be readyto start receiv- ing nuclear wasteat the planned 2010.
