Supreme Court clears the way for temporary nuclear waste storage in Texas and New Mexico

Supreme Court clears the way for temporary nuclear waste storage in Texas and New Mexico | Industry 411 - Waste Management | Scoop.it
The Supreme Court has restarted plans to temporarily store nuclear waste in rural Texas and New Mexico, even as the nation is at an impasse over a permanent solution. The justices Wednesday reversed a federal appeals court ruling that invalidated the license granted by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission to a private company for the southwest Texas facility. The outcome should reinvigorate plans for a New Mexico facility. The licenses would allow the companies to operate the facilities for 40 years, with the possibility of a 40-year renewal. The court’s decision is not a final ruling in favor of the licenses but removes a major roadblock. Plans for a permanent underground storage facility in Nevada are stalled.
