The Role Of Localities In The Transportation And Disposal Of Nuclear Wastes, Marvin Swift, Mars M. Wicker Jan 1984

The Role Of Localities In The Transportation And Disposal Of Nuclear Wastes, Marvin Swift, Mars M. Wicker

University of Richmond Law Review

Transportation and disposal of nuclear wastes brings the apprehensions associated with nuclear power into close physical and psychological proximity to many Americans. The subject of transportation comes with its own set of problems, including potential accidents, packaging, routing, security, sabotage, and special agency actions.

University of Richmond Law Review

The Uniform Commercial Code has had a great influence on the development of the doctrine of implied warranties in the sale of goods. However, where a transaction primarily involves the sale of services rather than products, the application of implied warranties under the Code is questionable.
