Expedited Licensing for Advanced Nuclear Fuel Recycling Technologies.
This law aims to speed up the development of modern nuclear technology in the US. It simplifies and shortens the licensing process for facilities that recycle spent nuclear fuel using specific, safer methods. This change could lead to faster deployment of more efficient energy sources and a reduction in the volume of radioactive waste requiring long-term storage.
Key points
Speeds up the permitting process for new nuclear fuel recycling technologies.
Excludes recycling equipment that does not separate pure plutonium from the strict definition of a "production facility" under the Atomic Energy Act.
Supports technologies designed to reduce the amount of stored nuclear waste.
