Early Site Permits; Standard Design Certifications; and Combined Licenses for Nuclear Power Plants

The Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is making available the draft wording of a possible amendment of its regulations. The proposal would amend Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR) part 52, "Early Site Permits; Standard Design Certifications; and Combined Licenses for Nuclear Power Plants," and associated regulations based on experience gained from design certification reviews and discussions with stakeholders on the early site permit and combined license processes. The changes should reduce the regulatory burden for future applicants and improve the effectiveness of 10 CFR part 52. The availability of the draft wording is intended to inform stakeholders of the current status of the NRC staff's activities to amend 10 CFR part 52 and to provide stakeholders the opportunity to comment on the draft changes.
