Environmental coalition files motion to disquality ASLB panel in WCS/ISP CISF proceeding

Sierra Club (represented by legal counsel Wally Taylor), and a seven-group environmental coalition (represented by legal counsel Terry Lodge), have filed a "Motion...for Disqualification of Atomic Safety and Licensing Board" in the Waste Control Specialists/Interim Storage Partners license application proceeding.

If approved by the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, WCS/ISP would transport to, and store at, the western Texas centralized interim storage facility (CISF) on the New Mexico border, 40,000 metric tons of commercial irradiated nuclear fuel. That is just under half what exists in the U.S. today.

Beyond Nuclear has also legally intervened against the WCS/ISP, TX CISF.
