Whether there has been a 'nuclear incident' such that the Price Anderson Act is applicable and provides original jurisdiction when the Congressional compensation mechanism provided by the Price Anderson Act is not implicated by the conduct giving rise to a Plaintiffs claims
question presented is whether there has been a “nuclear incident” such that the Price Anderson Act is applicable and provides original jurisdiction when the Congressional compensation mechanism provided by the Price Anderson Act is not implicated by the conduct giving rise to a Plaintiffs claims. 28 U.S.C. § 1291 provides United States Courts of Appeals with jurisdiction to hear appeals from all final decisions of the district courts of the United States. The second question presented is whether an order by a federal district court severing a primary claim from a related contribution claim, remanding the primary claim to state court, and keeping federal jurisdiction over the contribution claim constitutes a “final decision” under 28 U.S.C. § 1291.
