Bill > HR6236

This bill, the Nuclear Licensing Efficiency Act, aims to streamline the regulatory permitting and licensing process for nuclear technology. Key provisions include: 1) Requiring the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) to provide for efficient, timely, and predictable reviews and proceedings for granting, suspending, revoking, or amending any nuclear license or construction permit. 2) Allowing the NRC to use information from the licensing basis of an existing nuclear facility when reviewing applications for new facilities at the same site. 3) Shortening the review period for the NRC's performance metrics and milestone schedules from 180 days to 90 days, and requiring the NRC to periodically review and revise these metrics and schedules. 4) Excluding fusion reactors from the definition of "advanced nuclear reactor applicant" for purposes of certain regulatory requirements. 5) Clarifying limitations on the sale of energy and nonenergy services by research and development utilization facilities licensed by the NRC. Overall, the bill aims to streamline and improve the efficiency of the nuclear licensing and regulatory process in the United States.
