- Title
TEMPORARY NUCLEAR WASTE SITING IS A MAJOR PROBLEM BUT NOT A MAJOR QUESTION.
- Authors
Cohen, Dylan
- Abstract
Mitigating global warming requires robust change in the country’s energy policy. One area ripe for such change is nuclear waste storage, which has long confounded the federal government. The Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) seems to have found a solution. It empowered private industry. But it might have run into a problem: the major questions doctrine. Though the major questions doctrine can indeed operate to constrain overzealous agencies, the NRC has acted within its authority, and private industry—by virtue of its Executive-branch grant of authority—should be allowed to help.
