Licensing and Regulation
We advise clients on the licensing and regulation of source and special nuclear materials used for beneficial purposes under the Atomic Energy Act and state law. We have assisted hospitals and other clients in obtaining these licenses from the Nuclear Regulatory Commission and state agencies and have counseled clients on compliance issues under these regulatory programs.
Radioactive Waste
We are familiar with the licensed disposal of byproduct materials by private companies under the Atomic Energy Act as well as the remediation of radioactive waste releases under the Comprehensive Environmental Response Compensation and Liability Act (CERCLA). Our involvement in these issues includes legal actions for the cleanup and cost recovery for radioactive waste at U.S. Department of Energy facilities.
Radioactive Air Emissions
Radionuclide emissions can be addressed under air pollution law and CERCLA. We have been involved in regulation and litigation over radioactive air emissions under both laws.
