1Opinion of the Court

RIPPLE, Circuit Judge.

James O’Conner originally brought this suit in Illinois state court. He sought damages for personal injuries allegedly caused by unsafe dosages of radiation. Shortly before trial, the action was removed to federal district court under the Price-Anderson Amendments Act, 42 U.S.C. §§ 2014, 2210 (the “Amendments Act”). Defendants Commonwealth Edison Co. (“Commonwealth Edison”) and London Nuclear Services (“London Nuclear”) then moved for summary judgment. The district court granted the defendants’ motion. Mr. O’Conner appealed. We now affirm.
