The Supreme Court has rejected Texas’s attempt to sue the federal government over nuclear waste storage in the state.

A majority of the court said Texas and a business known as Fasken Land and Minerals weren’t entitled to a review of the Nuclear Regulatory Commission’s decision to license a temporary storage facility. The court declined to address the bigger question of whether that type of licensing was allowed under law.
