Texas Files Suit Over Interim Storage Site

摘要

Texas started legal proceedings this week aimed at overturning the Nuclear Regulatory’s Commission’s decision to license a commercially operated interim storage site for spent nuclear fuel in the Lone Star state. Texas attorney general Ken Paxton, alongside Gov. Greg Abbott (R) and the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ), asked a judge in the U.S. Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals to review the license NRC granted to Interim Storage Partners (ISP) for its proposed interim storage site in Andrews County, Texas, according to the filing dated Thursday. The filing asks the court to declare ISP’s license unlawful and toss it.
