A Kentucky environmental advocacy group is appealing its rejected bid to halt the Nuclear Regulatory Commission licensing process for Global Laser Enrichment’s planned, first-of-its-kind Paducah laser uranium enrichment facility. The Kentucky Resources Council filed its initial petition to halt GLE’s licensing process in May . However, the federal panel ruled that Donham – and by extension KRC – lacked standing to intervene. At length, the ruling also went through other contentions revolving around environmental and safety regulations from KRC and McVicker. KRC filed an appeal Monday asking the NRC to reconsider its request for a hearing on GLE’s license application.
