The Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) must consider the environmental effects of nuclear wastes before issuing operating licenses to nuclear power plants. The NRC must address the problem either in individual licensing proceedings or in generic administrative proceedings in which the NRC makes decisions or rules concerning the future issuance of licenses. Any decision or rule so made must be supported by an administrative record that indicates the issue of nuclear waste disposal has been thoroughly ventilated. Natural Resources Defense Council v. US Nuclear Regulatory Commission, 547 F.2d 633 (D.D.C. 1976), cert. granted, 429 US 1090 (1977).
