Lets companies start building uranium enrichment facilities sooner, with new notification rules.
This bill would change how uranium enrichment facilities are approved. Currently, companies must wait for a full operating license before starting construction. This bill would let them begin building earlier, but they would need to tell state, local, and tribal governments first. People affected by these facilities would also get a clearer path to request a hearing.
Today, companies generally must wait for a full operating license from the Nuclear Regulatory Commission before they can begin building a uranium enrichment facility. This bill would allow companies to start construction before getting that final license. However, they would need to notify state, local, and tribal governments at least 15 days beforehand and build at their own risk. It would also change the hearing process, allowing affected individuals to request a hearing for an operating license.
