Bill overview
This bill directs the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) to modernize the process for reviewing environmental impacts of new nuclear reactor applications. Specifically, the NRC must submit a report outlining steps to improve efficiency, including using existing environmental reviews from other agencies and exploring digital technologies. The bill also tasks the NRC with developing and implementing a final rule within two years to streamline these reviews, potentially utilizing applicant-prepared environmental impact statements and considering mitigated findings of no significant impact.
