Summary:

Examines general constitutional principles of preemption, and analyzes Supreme Court interpretation of the scope of Federal preemption under the Atomic Energy Act. Applies established preemption principles to the Vermont Yankee licensing dispute, in which the State of Vermont suggested that it will not approve the continued operation of the Vermont Yankee nuclear power plant, despite NRC approval to extend its operating license.
