Supreme Court Takes Up Nuclear Waste in Texas

The U.S. Supreme Court is reviewing a case that could establish the country’s first independent nuclear waste storage facility in West Texas, despite strong opposition from state leaders. The Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) approved a temporary site for spent nuclear fuel at a facility owned by Waste Control Specialists, but Texas and a local oil company sued, arguing the NRC overstepped its authority. A federal appeals court sided with Texas, canceling the site’s license. The Supreme Court will decide whether the NRC can license private companies to store nuclear waste away from reactors. Critics fear the facility could become a de facto permanent repository, as efforts to establish a national disposal site, such as the failed Yucca Mountain project, have repeatedly stalled. A ruling is expected in June, with implications for the future of nuclear power and waste management in the U.S.
