The Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) must not make final licensing
decisions until it has completed a rulemaking action on the
environmental impacts of highly radioactive nuclear waste in the form of
spent, or 'used', reactor fuel storage and disposal, as required under
the landmark Waste Confidence Rule decision of June 8th by the U.S.
Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit, according to
by Warwick Pipe
The
attorney general of the state of Massachusetts has filed an appeal with
a US court against the Nuclear Regulatory Commission's (NRC's) decision
to relicense the Pilgrim nuclear power plant. Meanwhile, environmental
groups are calling on the NRC to delay final reactor licensing decisions
until it has studied the environmental impacts of its policy for
on-site used fuel storage.
