NEI files amicus brief supporting challenges to DOE's Yucca Mountain license withdrawal
The Nuclear Energy Institute on Monday filed a brief with the U.S. District Court of Appeals in support of a petition to prevent the Department of Energy from withdrawing its license application for the Yucca Mountain, Nev., repository for used nuclear fuel. The NEI brief supports challenges by the states of South Carolina and Washington, Aiken County, S.C., and the National Association of Regulatory Utility Commissioners to DOE's request to withdraw its license application for the Yucca Mountain disposal facility. NEI filed the brief as "amicus curiae," or "friend of the court." (More)
