22. Congress passed a statute which required each state to assume ownership and to dispose of all low-level radioactive waste generated in that state by private companies.  The statute sought to force states to create local waste disposal sites or to enter regional compacts with other states for this purpose.  Once state officials began regulating in a manner likely to solve this problem, interstate shipment of such wastes would be diminished.  State X challenged this federal statute as unconstitutional.  What is the likely result of State X’s challenge?
