Nuclear Regulatory Commission Denies Nevada's Petition for Rulemaking on Yucca Mountain Repository
The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) has denied a petition submitted by the State of Nevada, which sought to amend regulations for the proposed Yucca Mountain repository to specify limits on spent fuel storage at the site. The denial is based on NRC's current regulations, which do not permit such storage unless it is integral to waste handling and disposal at the proposed repository.
