Kempthorne Threatens To Block Waste - (BOISE) -- Governor Dirk 
Kempthorne is warning the federal government that he will block 
any new shipments of nuclear waste into Idaho if other waste isn't 
shipped out. Kempthorne says the state's agreement with the 
federal government allows him to block a shipment of European 
spent fuel from entering the Idaho National Engineering and 
Environmental Lab this summer. The state of New Mexico is 
blocking next month's opening of an underground nuclear storage 
dump where the radioactive waste from Idaho is eventually slated to 
go.
