Under the Nuclear Waste Policy Act, the Department of Energy and the utilities entered into a contract. It is the contractual liability that becomes the issue as a result of the court's decision that the senior Senator from Louisiana referenced. Under the contract provision, the remedy is spelled out. If the delays are unavoidable, there is no liability in a financial sense. The schedule for receiving shipment is adjusted accordingly. If it is determined that the Department of Energy has been responsible for the delay, an adjustment is made with respect to the fees that are paid into the nuclear waste trust fund. So those are the remedies that are provided.
