Portland nuclear power startup NuScale hit with investor lawsuit
Investors have filed a class-action lawsuit against Portland-based NuScale Power, alleging the company misled them about the viability of a major nuclear power project. The lawsuit follows the collapse of a partnership with Utah Associated Municipal Power Systems to build small modular reactors at the Idaho National Laboratory, attributed to rising interest rates and inflation. Research by Iceberg Research contradicted NuScale's optimistic investor communications, revealing a lack of new customers and questioning the feasibility of another project with Standard Power. Investors seek monetary damages for their losses.
Oregon judge rules that voter-approved Measure 114 gun safety law violates the state constitution
A Harney County Circuit Court judge ruled that Oregon's Measure 114, a voter-approved gun safety law, violates the state constitution. The law, which requires safety courses, background checks, and bans on high-capacity magazines, was blocked from taking effect. Oregon Attorney General Ellen Rosenblum plans to appeal the decision, arguing it endangers public safety. The ruling contrasts with a federal court's decision upholding the law. The case involved extensive testimony on historical and modern firearms, with the judge ultimately finding the law's restrictions unconstitutional.
Portland nuclear power startup NuScale hit with investor lawsuit
NuScale Power, a Portland-based nuclear power company, is facing a class-action lawsuit from investors alleging that the company made false statements about the viability of a project involving small modular nuclear reactors. The project with Utah Associated Municipal Power Systems at the Idaho National Laboratory was canceled due to financial issues. NuScale is the only company with a small modular reactor design approved by the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission. Iceberg Research published a report challenging NuScale's claims about customer acquisition and the feasibility of another project with Standard Power. NuScale's stock has dropped 60% since August, and the company has refuted the allegations, with VP Diane Hughes labeling the plaintiffs as 'serial litigants.'

A Harney County Circuit Court judge ruled that Oregon's Measure 114, which includes new gun laws such as a permit requirement for firearm purchases and a ban on magazines holding over 10 rounds, violates the state constitution. The ruling follows a six-day trial and blocks the laws from taking effect unless overturned by a higher court. Oregon Attorney General Ellen Rosenblum plans to appeal the decision. The case has also been challenged in federal court, where U.S. District Judge Karin Immergut ruled the law constitutional, a decision that is currently under appeal.
Nuclear reactor deal collapse challenges Portland company’s clean energy plan
NuScale, a Portland-based company, has canceled a partnership with the Department of Energy and the Utah Associated Municipal Power Systems to deliver the first small modular nuclear reactors in the U.S. The Carbon Free Power Project faced a 75% cost increase to $9.3 billion and a 50% increase in power costs due to inflation and rising interest rates. Some communities withdrew their commitments, affecting the project's viability. NuScale's stock fell 33% following the announcement, although the company remains committed to bringing small modular reactors to market.
FAA mental health rules are under scrutiny after off-duty pilot tried to cut engines
The National Transportation Safety Board is urging the Federal Aviation Administration to revise mental health regulations for pilots following an incident where an off-duty Horizon Air pilot, Joseph Emerson, allegedly attempted to disable the engines mid-flight. Emerson's actions, which occurred after he had been experiencing depression and stress, have led to a broader discussion about the FAA's mental health reporting requirements, which are seen as discouraging pilots from seeking help due to the fear of losing their medical clearance. The FAA has made some progress in recent years, allowing certain antidepressants and streamlining the clearance process for mild cases. Emerson is currently facing multiple charges, including attempted murder and interfering with flight crew members.
FAA mental health rules are under scrutiny after off-duty pilot tried to cut engines
The National Transportation Safety Board is urging the Federal Aviation Administration to revise mental health regulations for pilots following an incident where off-duty pilot Joseph Emerson attempted to disable the engines of a Horizon Air flight during a mental health crisis. Emerson's wife attributed his actions to depression and stress, exacerbated by a friend's death and work pressure. The FAA's self-reporting system for pilots' mental health issues is criticized for being slow and costly, potentially discouraging pilots from seeking help. Despite recent improvements, including the approval of certain antidepressants, the process remains burdensome. Emerson is currently facing multiple charges, including attempted murder and interfering with flight crew members.

The National Transportation Safety Board is urging the Federal Aviation Administration to revise mental health regulations for pilots following an incident where an off-duty pilot, Joseph Emerson, attempted to disable the engines of a Horizon Air flight during a mental health crisis. Emerson had been experiencing depression, exacerbated by personal and professional stress, and had ingested psychedelic mushrooms approximately 36 hours prior to the incident. The FAA's current system requires pilots to self-report mental health issues, which can lead to a loss of medical clearance and a lengthy, costly process to regain it. Pilots and medical professionals express concerns that the system discourages pilots from seeking help. The FAA has made some progress, allowing certain antidepressants and streamlining the clearance process for mild cases. Emerson is currently facing multiple charges, including attempted murder and interfering with flight crew members.
