Lets nuclear power plants get approved faster if no one asks for a hearing.
This bill would allow the Nuclear Regulatory Commission to approve new nuclear facilities and changes to existing ones without a full hearing, as long as no one affected formally asks for one. They would still give 30 days' public notice before making a decision. This change could speed up the approval process for nuclear projects across the country.
Today, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission must hold a hearing for most nuclear facility licenses and amendments, and "on the record" hearings for uranium enrichment facilities. After this bill, the Commission could approve these without a hearing if no affected person requests one, after giving 30 days public notice. Any hearings held would use informal procedures.
