“NNSA Loses Environmental Regulation Lawsuit”
A U.S. District Court judge ruled on Sept. 30 that the National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA) violated the National Environmental Policy Act by failing to conduct a proper analysis of alternatives that takes into consideration environmental impacts after significantly modifying plans for plutonium pit production in 2018.
The civil suit against the NNSA was brought in South Carolina by nuclear safety advocates in cooperation with a group representing the Gullah-Geechee slave-descendant community of the coasts of the Carolinas, Georgia, and Florida. Following the decision, the court has instructed the two sides to consult and jointly recommend an appropriate remedy.
