NRC v. Texas

Summary

The Supreme Court held that Texas and Fasken are not parties to the NRC licensing proceeding because they neither were license applicants nor successfully intervened, and therefore lack standing under the Hobbs Act to seek judicial review of the NRC's license issuance. Consequently, the Court reversed the Fifth Circuit’s judgment and remanded with instructions to dismiss the petitions for review. The Court declined to address the underlying question of the NRC’s statutory authority to license private off‑site storage facilities.
