So that left the United States in a position where we have all of these nuclear power plants producing highly radioactive spent fuel, but we don't have any permanent repository to store that fuel.

Essentially, what Texas is arguing is that the federal government does not have a right to license a temporary storage facility for spent nuclear fuel like this one here.

That does open the door, I believe, to other private nuclear waste storage facilities that are not at operating or decommissioned reactors. And it really kind of opens that up as a business model that if you want to open a high-level nuclear waste storage facility, you can do that, which right now that's all under the purview of either federal ownership or nuclear power plants.

If we are going to do a big deployment of nuclear reactors, we're going to have a lot more waste, and eventually it will become urgent to find a solution for storage and disposal.

The tricky thing about this is that the plastics industry is not required to tell us what's in these plastics. And even then, it would be very difficult given the diversity of plastic products around us. So what chemists have to do is they actually have to reverse engineer these plastics in the lab and pick apart which chemicals are in them.

And we just need more studies on what these chemicals are doing to our bodies. But it's stuff that plastics producers, I don't think, would ever thought would end up in the human body.
