NRC Denies Nevada's Petition for Rulemaking on Yucca Mountain HLW Repository
The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) has denied a petition submitted by the State of Nevada, which sought to modify NRC regulations regarding high-level waste (HLW) repository construction at Yucca Mountain, Nevada. The denial is based on the petition being inconsistent with current NRC rules and the Commission's original intent when establishing regulations requiring a hearing for all HLW repository construction applications.
