Today (June 18, 2025) the Supreme Court ruled 6-3 that New Mexico and Texas, and groups like the Sierra Club, did not have the right to challenge Nuclear Regulatory Commission licenses for “interim” high-level nuclear waste storage facilities in their respective states. The NRC denied intervention for these entities in the licensing process and therefore the court claimed that the states did not have the right to challenge the license.
