• holding that the plaintiff's fraud, IIED and battery claims were not preempted by the Price-Anderson Act because the federal safety regulations had no bearing on the defendant's liability for intentional acts
• “adopting the ALARA standard would result in an ordinary negligence standard and would allow juries to decide issues explicitly reserved to the federal government.”
• refusing to dismiss claims for intentional infliction of emotional distress, battery and fraud
• “The federal safety regulations do not immunize a defendant from liability for making fraudulent representations to persons either before or after subjecting them to radiation.”
• “Plaintiffs’ claim pursuant to a strict liability theory is inconsistent with the federal regulatory scheme because Plaintiffs could recover pursuant to such a claim without first establishing that Defendant breached a federally imposed standard of care.”
