"Texas arguments: In a brief filed on January 15, Texas attorney general Ken Paxton outlined the state’s arguments against the NRC license for the ISP facility."  The brief states: “Nothing about this license is lawful. Congress has already legislated a solution to the nation’s nuclear-waste problem: permanent storage in Yucca Mountain."
The Yucca legislation is from 24 years ago.  The State of Nevada will still never allow shipments.  There is a good chance Nevada will allow refurbishment $$$$ of Yucca without ever agreeing to future receipt of shipments.  Then they will find reason never to allow a single shipment.    Same game/different decade.  Short memories will fall for it again.
