Bill overview
This bill directs the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) to study ways to streamline environmental reviews for nuclear reactors. The NRC will submit a report to Congress outlining how to use existing methods like categorical exclusions and environmental assessments more efficiently. The bill also requires the NRC to create a standardized ‘generic environmental impact statement’ and revise regulations to allow for the use of environmental assessments and categorical exclusions for many licensing actions, potentially reducing the time and cost of these reviews.
