| 2024-22385 | Generic Environmental Impact Statement for Licensing of New Nuclear Reactors | Proposed Rule | The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is proposing to amend the regulations that govern the NRC's environmental reviews of new nuclear reactor applications under the National Environmental Policy Act. The rulemaking would codify the generic findings of the NRC's draft Generic Environmental Impact Statement for Licensing of New Nuclear Reactors. The draft Generic Environmental Impact Statement for Licensing of New Nuclear Reactors uses a technology-neutral framework and a set of plant and site parameters to determine which potential environmental impacts would be common to the construction, operation, and decommissioning of many new nuclear reactors, and thus appropriate for a generic analysis, and which potential environmental impacts would be unique, and thus require a project-specific analysis. The NRC expects that both the proposed rule and the Generic Environmental Impact Statement for Licensing of New Nuclear Reactors would streamline the environmental reviews for future nuclear reactor applicants. The NRC is also issuing for public comment draft regulatory guide (DG), "Preparation of Environmental Reports for Nuclear Power Stations," and "Environmental Considerations Associated with New Nuclear Reactor Applications that Reference the Generic Environmental Impact Statement." | 2024-10-04 | 2024 | 10 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2024/10/04/2024-22385/generic-environmental-impact-statement-for-licensing-of-new-nuclear-reactors | https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2024-10-04/pdf/2024-22385.pdf | Nuclear Regulatory Commission | 383 | The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is proposing to amend the regulations that govern the NRC's environmental reviews of new nuclear reactor applications under the National Environmental Policy Act.
