COVID-19 introduced months of delay for the treatment of stored liquid wastes left over from processing spent nuclear fuels at the Idaho National Laboratory.
HM Revenue & Customs has refunded millions of pounds to taxpayers who paid its controversial loan charge.
But only a fraction of those who applied for a refund have so far received any money, meaning hundreds of taxpayers face a longer wait for their cash to be returned.
The taxman has so far refunded, or waived, £3.6m to 50 taxpayers who paid the loan charge, at an average of £72,000 each, a Freedom of Information request submitted by this newspaper has revealed.
As of April 2021, HMRC had received almost 1,850 applications for a refund, but Telegraph Money has been told it has taken longer than anticipated to process repayments due to the complex nature of the settlements.

On a Friday night in Kansas City’s West Bottoms, comfortably distanced members of the crowd at Lemonad(e) Park tapped their toes and took in an evening of in-person live music.
Then, the skies opened up.
The night’s headliner, a local group called True Lions, didn’t even hit the stage. But if you asked a member of the medium-sized crowd shuffling to the exit in the downpour, they likely would have been happy to have seen any live music at all.
