  • FILE – Brendan Shaughnessy, left, with the Nuclear Issues Study Group, protests with other activists ahead of a meeting of a U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission panel in Albuquerque, N.M., on Tuesday, Jan. 22, 2019. Lawmakers have endorsed a measure that calls for banning the storage of spent nuclear fuel in N.M., unless the state provides its consent first. Democratic lawmakers have been raising concerns that opening the door to waste from commercial nuclear power plants around the U.S. would result in New Mexico becoming the nation’s dumping ground. The legislation passed the House on Friday, March 17, 2023, and governor intends to sign it. (AP Photo/Susan Montoya Bryan, File)Environment
