Public Comment for Modernizing Reactor Licensing, Safety Oversight, and Siting Practices Rulemaking

NIA submitted a public comment on the proposed rule, Modernizing Reactor Licensing, Safety Oversight, and Siting Practices. NIA has comments on several topic areas and addresses some of the staff’s specific questions. Additionally, this rulemaking overlaps with several other proposed rules, and NIA encourages NRC to be diligent in ensuring that there are no contradictions across regulations. Finally, while enhancing effectiveness and efficiency, NRC must ensure that guardrails remain to achieve adequate protection of health and the environment.
