Beyond Nuclear brings interim storage case back to Supreme Court
The U.S. Supreme Court may once again scrutinize the Nuclear Regulatory Commission’s authority to license consolidated interim storage facilities for commercial spent nuclear fuel. The antinuclear group Beyond Nuclear has filed a petition with the court for a writ of certiorari review of an August 2024 appeals court decision rejecting the group’s lawsuit against the licensing of Holtec International’s New Mexico storage facility, the HI-STORE CISF.

Desorption kinetics of hydrogen isotopes implanted into type 316L stainless steel by glow discharge have been studied by the experiment and numerical calculation. The temperature of a maximum desorption rate depended on glow discharge time and heating rate. Desorption spectra observed under various experimental conditions were successfully reproduced by numerical calculation which is based on a diffusion-limited process. It is suggested, therefore, that desorption rate of a hydrogen isotope implanted into the stainless steel is limited by a diffusion process of hydrogen isotope atoms in bulk. Furthermore, small isotope effects were observed for the diffusion process of hydrogen isotope atoms.
