Environmental Groups Petition NRC Over ISP Interim Storage Site

摘要

A team of environmental interest groups is petitioning a federal to reverse the Nuclear Regulatory Commission’s December rejection of two separate requests to delay the licensing of Interim Storage Partners’ proposed consolidated interim storage facility, according to a legal filing this week. The environmental groups asked the court of appeals for the D.C. circuit to overturn the NRC’s decisions last year, which held that none of the petitioners’ contentions were convincing enough to pause licensing on the proposed waste disposal site, according to the filing.
