Risk-Informed, Technology-Inclusive Regulatory Framework for Advanced Reactors

Document 2024-26937 is a Proposed Rule published by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission in the Federal Register on November 22, 2024, with an effective date of October 31, 2024. On October 31, 2024, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) solicited comments on the part 53 proposed rulemaking, which would revise the NRC's regulations by adding a risk-informed, performance-based, and technology-inclusive regulatory framework for commercial nuclear plants in response to the Nuclear Energy Innovation and Modernization Act (NEIMA). The public comment period was originally scheduled to close on December 30, 2024. The NRC has decided to extend the public comment period to allow more time for members of the public to develop and submit their comments and for the NRC staff to engage with stakeholders on the proposed rule language.
