FILE - In this March 1999 file photo, the first load of nuclear waste arrives at the Waste Isolation Pilot Plant site in Carlsbad, N.M., from Los Alamos National Laboratory. A watchdog group wants the New Mexico Court of Appeals to put the brakes on a key construction project at the nation's only underground nuclear waste repository. The group alleges state environmental officials ignored regulations and past practices in giving temporary approval for contractors to begin building a new ventilation shaft at the Waste Isolation Pilot Plant.
