Decision May Affect Waste Storage 19 January 2007
BRATTLEBORO REFORMER (BRATTLEBORO, VERMONT) —The Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit ruled in June 2006 that the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) erred when it refused to consider the environmental effects of a terrorist attack on a proposed dry cask site at the San Luis Obispo nuclear power plant in California. The NRC appealed the ruling to the U.S. Supreme Court. On 16 January 2007 the U.S. Supreme Court refused to hear the appeal. “This case establishes a precedent that could apply to any NRC licensing action," said Gordon Thompson of Mothers For Peace, one of the organizations that sued the NRC.
