The federal interest in non-poisoned reservoirs

[Rebecca E. Zietlow]

Yes, I agree wholeheartedly, and of course the statute in NY v. US was
the result of states' cooperating to work out a remedy for disposing of
low level radioactive watse.  But even in NY v. US, the Court indicated
that Congress could have done something similar to the "commandeering"
if it had made it a condition of receipt of federal funds.

One might have thought that was the case with regard to low-level
radioactive waste.
