United States First Circuit

In appeal of decision by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC), which denied admission of petitioners' contention that questioned and sought a hearing on the conclusion in the environmental report by company operating nuclear reactor, that offshore wind electric generation was not a reasonable alternative to the extended licensing of the nuclear reactor, petition for review is denied, where: 1) the NRC's decision to deny admissibility of petitioner's contention constituted reasoned decision-making and was not arbitrary or capricious; and 2) there is no basis in law to set it aside.
