Provides for evidentiary hearings on which such determinations shall be based. Prohibits reactor construction if alternatives can be put into effect by the license applicant. Requires notification to the affected State prior to commencement of construction, if alternatives are available but the applicant is unable to put them into effect. 2025-09-02T17:11:01Z
