Considerations For Closing The Moral And Legal Gap In Public Utility Regulation, E. Nathan Cheung
Considerations For Closing The Moral And Legal Gap In Public Utility Regulation, E. Nathan Cheung
Journal of the National Association of Administrative Law Judiciary
Many public utility commissions were originally created to regulate railroad companies. However, during the transition to the modern era their reach was greatly expanded to encompass the host of now regulated public industries. In more recent times, the role of the public utility commission has further expanded beyond regulation of specific industries to become tools to implement various policy goals and attitudes towards respective industries. Part II of this paper will seek to address different issues that may be encountered by the modern public utility commission. Part III of this paper seeks to present the concept of incentive regulation, which …
Lights Out: Decommissioning The American Nuclear Plant, Joseph D. Mcmanus
Lights Out: Decommissioning The American Nuclear Plant, Joseph D. Mcmanus
Journal of the National Association of Administrative Law Judiciary
This article seeks to examine the United States commercial nuclear power plant decommissioning process, a look into a subject that begins at the end of a nuclear plant's life. The subject is often overlooked in favor of the more dominant and controversial issue of when and where a federal spent nuclear fuel repository will be established. But to overlook the American nuclear plant decommissioning process would be a missed opportunity to understand what happens after a nuclear plant permanently ceases power operations-a process that has the potential to last decades and affect the plant's local community through economic and environmental …

Report To The California Public Utilities Commission Regarding Ex Parte Communications And Related Practices, Michael J. Strumwasser, Beverly Grossman Palmer, Dale K. Larson
Journal of the National Association of Administrative Law Judiciary
Part I contains the analysis of existing law. We review the statutes and regulations governing ex parte communications before the CPUC, examine corresponding laws of other jurisdictions, and compare the CPUC statutes and regulations with those of the other jurisdictions. In Part II we examine actual ex parte practices before the CPUC. Based on data obtained from notices filed on the Commission’s website by parties to rate-setting cases, we provide a quantitative characterization of the extent and nature of noticed ex parte communications over the past roughly 22 years. We then place ex parte communications within the context of the …
Waist-Deep In Nuclear Waste: How The Nrc Can Rebuild Confidence In A Stalled Waste Management Program, Emily Casey
Waist-Deep In Nuclear Waste: How The Nrc Can Rebuild Confidence In A Stalled Waste Management Program, Emily Casey
Journal of the National Association of Administrative Law Judiciary
This comment will explain why the federal nuclear waste management program is at a standstill and will suggest a course of action for the NRC to help revive the program. Part II describes the environmental hazards of spent nuclear fuel and the federal government’s effort to site and build a geologic repository for this nuclear waste. Part III explains the role of the NRC in the nuclear regulatory scheme and how safety and environmental regulations are promulgated and enforced. Part IV narrows in on the NRC rulemakings called the “Waste Confidence Decision” and “Temporary Storage Rule,” and the reasons why …
