NRC Approves Simplified Mandatory Hearing Procedures for Reactor and Enrichment Licenses The Nuclear Regulatory Commission has approved simplified procedures for mandatory hearings on licensing decisions for commercial nuclear power plants and uranium enrichment facilities to make the hearings more transparent and efficient. The staff’s proposals, the Commission’s decision, and Commission Voting Records are available on the NRC website under SECY-24-0032. The changes are effective immediately and will be employed in the mandatory hearing anticipated later this year for the Hermes 2 advanced reactor review. Mandatory hearings, also informally called “uncontested” hearings, for power reactors will involve written materials without oral presentations, with the Commission as presiding officer. Hearings for uranium enrichment facilities will be delegated to the Atomic Safety and Licensing Board Panel with case-specific Commission direction for streamlined procedures.
Good news for SLX- GLE as regulation has been used by some sectors on Anti nuclear power to strangle via regulatory red tape blockages over the last 30 years.
