Utah has petitioned the U.S. Court of Appeals to revoke federal approval of a proposal to store high-level nuclear waste in the state.
Utah is asking the court to “declare that the NRC’s decisions relating to the PFS license application are arbitrary and capricious and inconsistent with applicable law; (and) direct the NRC to revoke any license” granted to the facility.
U.S. Senator Orrin Hatch has publicly supported this appeal. However he has also stated publicly that he has requested Private Fuel Storage owners Xcel Energy to “look elsewhere” for nuke waste storage.
I wonder if Orrin means keep the spent fuel where it’s **created**???
