United States v. EnergySolutions Inc. et al. The DOJ retained Dr. Greg Eastman of Cornerstone Research in a matter involving a proposed $367 million merger of EnergySolutions Inc. and Waste Control Specialists LLC (WCS). The agency sought to enjoin the deal, arguing that the merger would harm competition in the market for commercial disposal of low-level radioactive waste in 36 states. The defendants claimed that the proposed merger would result in greater operational efficiencies, and also asserted that WCS was a "failing firm" whose assets would exit the market absent the merger.
