Notes of Decisions
Commonwealth Edison Co. v. United States, 56 Fed. Cl. 652 (Fed. Cl. 2003).
“Defendant concedes that “DOE has never constructed a MRS [] authorized pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 10162 (b), subject to the licensing and construction requirements of 42 U.”
Tennessee Valley Auth. v. United States, 60 Fed. Cl. 665 (Fed. Cl. 2004).
“42 U.S.C. § 10162 (b). However, DOE could not begin construction of this secondary storage facility until it had obtained a license for a permanent facility.”
Sys. Fuels, Inc. v. United States, 79 Fed. Cl. 37 (Fed. Cl. 2007).
“1330 -227, 1330-232 (codified at 42 U.S.C. § 10162 (b)). The statutory conditions on the MRS took the form of three principal “linkages” between the DOE’s authority to proceed with a MRS and progress by the DOE on the permanent repository.”
N. States Power Co. v. United States, 78 Fed. Cl. 449 (Fed. Cl. 2007).
“The Amendments Act also authorized DOE to site, construct, and operate a single MRS facility, 42 U.S.C. § 10162 (b), provided that DOE not select a site for the MRS facility “until the Secretary recommends to the President the approval of a site for development as a repository,”…”
Sys. Fuels, Inc. v. United States, 79 Fed. Cl. 182 (Fed. Cl. 2007).
“1330 -227, 1330-232 (codified at 42 U.S.C. § 10162 (b)). The conditions took the form of linkages between DOE’s authority to proceed with a MRS and progress by DOE on a permanent repository.”
Dominion Resources, Inc. v. United States, 84 Fed. Cl. 259 (Fed. Cl. 2008).
“1330 -232 (current version at 42 U.S.C. § 10162 (b) (2006)), which made timely performance of *266 the contract extremely difficult.”
Entergy Nuclear Vermont Yankee, LLC v. United States, 95 Fed. Cl. 160 (Fed. Cl. 2010).
“1330 -227, 1330-232 (codified at 42 U.S.C. § 10162 (b)). Congress, however, prohibited the MRS from storing more than 10,000 MTU and also limited DOE’s ability to construct the interim facility until the permanent repository had been licensed for construction.”
