Bogdan, W

The early history of the nuclear energy industry is dominated by almost exclusive federal government control and regulation. In the broadest sense, that history remains intact. Recent Supreme Court decisions, however, indicate that states are now capable of indirect regulation of the nuclear energy industry. English v. General Electric is such an example of a judicial decision with the potential to empower states with an opportunity to indirectly regulate the nuclear energy industry.
