    The Atomic Safety and Licensing Board has been restructured following the retirement of Administrative Judge Paul S. Ryerson on November 30, 2024. Administrative Judge G. Paul Bollwerk, III will now serve as the Presiding Officer in the ongoing legal case concerning Yucca Mountain Nevada High-Level Waste Geologic Repository. This reconstitution ensures that all legal correspondence and documents will continue to be filed through the NRC's electronic filing system as usual. This change was formalized in Rockville, Maryland, on December 3, 2024.

    Simple Explanation

    The Atomic Safety and Licensing Board had a change because a judge retired, so now another judge named G. Paul Bollwerk, III will take over in a project about safely storing waste deep underground in Yucca Mountain. Everything else will keep running the same way as before for the legal work.

  • 2024-30240 — Licensing Support Network Advisory Review Panel; Charter Renewal
    Type:Notice
    Citation:89 FR 103882
    Reading Time:about a minute or two

    The Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) has renewed the charter for the Licensing Support Network Advisory Review Panel (LSNARP) until December 16, 2026. The panel provides guidance on managing electronic documents related to the licensing of a nuclear waste disposal site at Yucca Mountain. Although the Licensing Support Network was shut down in 2011, its documents are still available through the NRC and continue to be relevant for affected stakeholders, including federal agencies and regional organizations. The renewal is deemed necessary by the NRC to fulfill its legal duties.

    Simple Explanation

    The Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) has decided to keep a special group of helpers around for a few more years to make sure they can still talk about important papers they need to keep safe and share about storing radioactive waste underground. Even though a special computer system for this was turned off a while ago, the papers are still important, and the team helps make sure everything is handled right.
