and what appear to be efforts by the Obama administration to scuttle it.
Lawsuit seeks decision on Yucca Mountain nuke waste dump - The Hill's E2-Wire
Quote:
Two states and a group of utility regulators want a federal court to compel the Nuclear Regulatory Commission to rule on the Obama administration’s attempt to scuttle the proposed Yucca Mountain nuclear waste dump.
Their lawsuit Friday also asks the court to force the NRC to revive its review of the Energy Department’s license application for Yucca, which the administration is trying to withdraw.
The lawsuit by the states of South Carolina and Washington, the National Association of Regulatory Utility Commissioners and other parties is the latest twist in the legally and politically volatile battle over the planned Nevada waste site.
