Berkeley Energia has appealed to Spain’s Supreme Court against the nomination of new members to the country’s nuclear safety council (CSN), which is due to assess the Australian company’s uranium mine project near Salamanca.
The court, in a document released on Thursday, said it had rejected a request from Berkeley to urgently suspend a government decree last week which named four new members to the CSN’s five-strong board, which rules on the safety of nuclear and radioactive facilities.
