Faster Nuclear Facility Licensing: Streamlined Hearings
New rules aim to speed up the process of issuing permits for building and operating nuclear facilities, like power plants. Citizens might experience the impact through potentially quicker nuclear energy development, which could affect energy supply stability and costs. The changes primarily concern administrative procedures, reducing the number of mandatory public hearings.
Key points
Allows permits for nuclear facility construction and operation to be issued without public hearings if no one requests one.
Introduces less formal procedures for hearings that are still held.
These rules apply to all applications and proceedings currently pending or filed after the law takes effect.
