Environmental Review for Renewal of Operating Licenses: Public Meeting

요약

The Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is announcing regional meetings to discuss options for addressing certain concerns expressed by a number of States in comments submitted to the NRC on the proposed rule on the environmental review required for renewal of nuclear power plant operating licenses. The concerns that will be addressed involve provisions of the proposed rule that the States see as being in conflict with the traditional authority of the States to regulate electrical utilities with respect to questions of need, reliability, cost, resource options, and other non-safety aspects of nuclear power generation. The minutes will be transcribed by a court recorder in all regional meetings.
