   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  17-1452
                          and No:  17-2215
   U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Missouri - St. Louis   
   [PUBLISHED] [Melloy, Author, with Gruender and Shepherd, Circuit Judges] 
   Civil case - Price-Anderson Nuclear Industries Indemnity Act. In this 
   wrongful-death action alleging exposure to nuclear radiation during World 
   War II and the Cold War at various St. Louis sites, the district court did 
   not err in finding the claims were untimely under Missouri's statute of 
   limitations, Mo. Rev. Statutes Section 537.100, which does not permit 
   tolling; to the extent equitable estoppel due to fraudulent concealment 
   might be permitted under Missouri law, plaintiffs did not raise the issue 
   of fraudulent concealment in the district court; the district court 
   correctly rejected plaintiffs' argument that the CERCLA's claim-accrual 
   provision saved the matter because that provision applies only to claims 
   brought under state law; here, Congress created a federal cause of action 
   for public-liability claims concerning nuclear incidents, and the action 
   is one arising under federal, rather than state, law.
