NRC Meeting on the Nuclear Ship Savannah

NRCgov posted a photo:

NRC staffers hold a meeting on board the Nuclear Ship Savannah, docked in Baltimore, to accept public comments on the vessel’s License Termination Plan. The hybrid session is the first time the NRC has conducted a public meeting aboard a seagoing vessel. As the Savannah nears the end of a multi-year decommissioning process, the U.S. Maritime Administration submitted the termination plan for NRC review. It spells out how the final steps will be carried out, including thorough checks for any residual radioactivity. The Savannah was defueled in 1971 and its reactor vessel removed at the end of 2022.

[ENVS Lecture Series] Climate in the Roman World

Dec 5, 2024, 12pm EST

Many scholars believe that the Roman Climate Optimum (RCO) was central to the expansion of the Roman Empire. Similarly, some think climatic trends in the centuries after the RCO were in large part responsible for the Roman Empire’s decline and disintegration. This lecture seeks to nuance these differences in climate and society to highlight why broad climatic phases cannot by themselves be used as societal determinants.

New Jersey Court Clarifies Application of 2019 Wage and Hour Law Amendments

On August 6, 2019, New Jersey’s wage and hour laws were amended to include liquidated damages on some claims, a new retaliation cause of action, and expansion of the statute of limitations from two to six years (the “2019 amendments”).  Since then, litigants in New Jersey have struggled with the effect those amendments have had on their lawsuits.  One of the main points of confusion centered around whether the 2019 amendments applied retroactively to violations prior to August 6, 2019, or whether the changes applied prospectively only.  A significant conflict developed between federal and
