Several states and organizations challenged standards promulgated by the US Environmental Protection Agency for the long‐term disposal of high‐level radioactive waste under the Nuclear Waste Policy Act of 1982. A US court of appeals ruled that because the USEPA failed to consider the interrelationship between standards for high‐level radioactive waste and the Safe Drinking Water Act, its action was arbitrary and capricious.
