Supreme Court rules against Texas in interim storage case
The Supreme Court voted 6–3 against Texas and a group of landowners today in a case involving the Nuclear Regulatory Commission’s licensing of a consolidated interim storage facility for spent nuclear fuel, reversing a decision by the 5th Circuit Court of Appeals to grant the state and landowners Fasken Land and Minerals (Fasken) standing to challenge the license.

Beta-gamma autoradiography is a widely used technique for studying fission products distribution in nuclear fuel cross sections. The contribution of individual fission products involved in beta-gamma autoradiography has been studied with and without aluminum absorbers. From the experimental results it appears that beta-gamma autoradiography as applied to fuel examination is pure beta autoradiography and, furthermore, there is a strong sensitivity of the emulsion to high energy beta, such as 3.4-MeV beta emitted by 106Rh (106Ru).
