On May 1, 1997, 39 U.S. peace and environmental NGOs filed a lawsuit challenging the adequacy of the DOE's Programmatic Environmental Impact Statement (PEIS) for Stockpile Stewardship and Management. The lawsuit seeks to halt the subcritical tests and other components of the SS&M Program until an adequate, comprehensive PEIS, with full public participation, is produced. The judge is expected to issue a ruling on the subcriticals in mid-June. (Rev. 5/24/97)
