The Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is proposing an agreement with the State of Connecticut that would give the state authority over certain types of nuclear materials. This plan would transfer regulatory control of 104 licenses from the NRC to Connecticut, allowing the state to manage the use and safety of specific radioactive materials. Public comments on this agreement and its impact on health and safety are being solicited until April 18, 2025. The agreement is expected to take effect on September 30, 2025, if approved.

The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) has terminated a special license for the Idaho Spent Fuel Facility (ISFF) after the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) requested its termination. The facility was never built, no activities were conducted, and no nuclear materials were used, allowing the site to be approved for unrestricted use. The termination decision meets regulatory criteria that apply to situations with no significant environmental impact, so an environmental assessment was deemed unnecessary. The license termination became effective on February 14, 2025.
