SCOTUS to Consider Plan for Storing 40,000 Tons of Nuclear Waste in Texas, New Mexico
Oct 4, 2024, 01:46 PM
The Supreme Court of the United States (SCOTUS) has agreed to consider reviving a plan to store up to 40,000 tons of highly radioactive waste at a temporary site in west Texas. This decision follows a judicial ruling that questioned the Nuclear Regulatory Commission's (NRC) authority to license such facilities, a practice that has been in place for decades. The case also involves plans to store nuclear waste at sites in rural Texas and New Mexico. The outcome of this case could have significant implications for nuclear waste management in the United States.
