After almost 15 years of litigation, the last successor company to two closed nuclear fuel processing facilities in Western Pennsylvania reached a $52.5 million settlement earlier this spring with 500 claimants who said they suffered health problems or property damage because of their exposure to radioactive emissions.
Babcock & Wilcox Co., or B&W, a successor company to the original civilian owner of two nuclear fuel facilities in Armstrong County, agreed to settle all 245 personal injury or wrongful death claims, as well as 125 property damage claims, in exchange for a payment of $52.5 million.
