MEMORANDUM AND ORDER
YOUNG, Chief Judge.
I. INTRODUCTION
The Defendants, William H. Sweet, M.D. (“Sweet”) and Massachusetts General Hospital (“Mass General”) request this Court to refer pertinent claims in this action to a medical malpractice tribunal convened pursuant to Mass. Gen. Laws ch. 231, § 60B. The Plaintiffs, Edward A. Joseph (“Joseph”) and Marc Oddo (“Oddo”), contest the referral, claiming that it is inconsistent with the explicit goals of the Price Anderson Act. According to Joseph and Oddo, the otherwise applicable state law is preempted by the Price Anderson Act.
