Text: On January 25, 2012, the Magistrate Judge issued the Lone Pine order, requiring Plaintiffs to provide prima facie evidence of, among other things, the “name of the specific radionuclide(s) released from Defendants’ facilities in excess of the applicable federal permissible limits” and “an identification of each exposure pathway(s) through which each Plaintiff was exposed to each specific radionuclide.” Order at 1, McMunn v. Babcock & Wilcox Power Generation Grp., No. 2:10-cv0143-DSC-RCM (W.D. Pa. Jan. 25, 2012), ECF No. 109. On September 12, 2012, following the parties’ responses to the Lone Pine order, the Magistrate Judge issued an order limiting Plaintiffs’ theories of recovery. See McMunn v. Babcock & Wilcox Power Generation Grp., 896 F. Supp. 2d 347 (W.D. Pa. 2012). In that order, the Magistrate Judge held that the Plaintiffs would be allowed only “to pursue, offer or rely upon evidence referring or relating to any claim based upon exposure through . . . airborne exposure to uranium . . . from . . . the Apollo facility during its years of operation.” Id. at 358–61; see also id. at 364. Plaintiffs do not challenge this Lone Pine order on appeal.
