September 26, 2024 The Honorable Thomas R. Carper Chairman, Committee on Environment and Public Works United States Senate Washington, DC 20510
Dear Chairman Carper:
The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is publishing the following document in the Federal Register:
Title:
Generic Environmental Impact Statement for Licensing of New Nuclear Reactors.
==
Description:==
The NRC is proposing to amend its regulations to codify the findings of the NRCs draft Generic Environmental Impact Statement for Licensing of New Nuclear Reactors. The draft Generic Environmental Impact Statement for Licensing of New Nuclear Reactors uses a technology-neutral framework and a set of plant and site parameters to determine which potential environmental impacts would be common to the construction, operation, and decommissioning of many new nuclear reactors, and thus appropriate for a generic analysis, and which potential environmental impacts would be unique, and thus require a project-specific analysis.
Dates: The public comment period on this proposed rule closes 75 days after publication.
For more information, see the enclosed document.
Please contact me at 301-415-1776 if you have questions or need more information.
Sincerely, Eugene Dacus, Director Office of Congressional Affairs
