FILE - In this Sept. 29, 1994 file photo, a CSX Train with spent nuclear fuel passes through Florence, S.C., on its way to Savannah River Site Weapons Complex near Aiken S.C. Lawyers for Nevada and the Energy Department are accusing each other of contradicting their past arguments as the state seeks to restart a legal challenge to force the government to remove weapons-grade plutonium it secretly shipped to a site near Las Vegas last year. A federal judge in Reno refused earlier this year to issue a temporary injunction banning shipments of the radioactive material to Nevada after the government disclosed in January 2019, it already had trucked one-half metric ton of plutonium there.
