This bill, the Nuclear for Brownfield Site Preparation Act, aims to enable timely licensing reviews and support the oversight of nuclear reactor facilities at brownfield sites and retired fossil fuel sites. The key provisions of the bill are: 1. It requires the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) to evaluate regulations, guidance, and policies within one year to identify ways to expedite licensing reviews for nuclear production or utilization facilities at brownfield sites, retired fossil fuel sites, or sites that are both. 2. It directs the NRC, within two years, to develop and implement strategies to enable timely licensing reviews and oversight of such facilities, as well as initiate a rulemaking to that effect. 3. It requires the NRC to consider factors such as the use of existing site infrastructure, emergency preparedness plans, environmental data and reviews, decommissioning and remediation activities, and community engagement when developing the strategies and rulemaking. 4. It mandates the NRC to submit two reports to Congress detailing the actions taken under the bill's provisions.
