The Atomic Safety and Licensing Board has been restructured following the retirement of Administrative Judge Paul S. Ryerson on November 30, 2024. Administrative Judge G. Paul Bollwerk, III will now serve as the Presiding Officer in the ongoing legal case concerning Yucca Mountain Nevada High-Level Waste Geologic Repository. This reconstitution ensures that all legal correspondence and documents will continue to be filed through the NRC's electronic filing system as usual. This change was formalized in Rockville, Maryland, on December 3, 2024.
Simple Explanation
The Atomic Safety and Licensing Board had a change because a judge retired, so now another judge named G. Paul Bollwerk, III will take over in a project about safely storing waste deep underground in Yucca Mountain. Everything else will keep running the same way as before for the legal work.
