Cleveland Steel Showdown: Ohio Targets Cliffs And Duck Creek Over Radioactive Mess

Ohio Attorney General Dave Yost has filed a lawsuit against Cleveland-Cliffs Inc. and Duck Creek Energy, accusing them of mishandling radioactive waste at Cleveland-Cliffs’ Cleveland Works steel mill. The complaint alleges improper disposal of brine, oil, and radioactive materials, leading to contamination and potential environmental violations. This state action escalates a prior legal dispute where Duck Creek sued Cleveland-Cliffs, and seeks to hold both companies accountable for cleanup and compliance.
