EnergySolutions will defend its acquistion of WCS in response to U.S. DoJ lawsuithttp://in.reuters.com/article/idINASC09JFQThe DOJ contends that the combined company would be “the only option for customers in nearly 40 states.” In fact, there are numerous disposal sites for LLRW waste operated by the competitors of the two companies. In addition, customers have the option to store on-site, as many have done, rather than ship to one of the many companies offering LLRW disposal. Furthermore, the innovation and price declines for LLRW waste disposal that DOJ cites in its own statements are in fact evidence of other competitors in the marketplace.
