The Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) announced its schedule for public meetings for February and early March 2021. There are no meetings scheduled for the weeks of February 1, February 22, March 1, and March 8. However, on February 11, there will be a discussion on the NRC’s regulatory framework for dry cask storage and transportation of spent nuclear fuel. On February 18, there will be a briefing on equal employment opportunity, affirmative employment, and small business. Due to COVID-19, these meetings will be held virtually, and the public can watch via webcast. Anyone needing special accommodations or who wishes to receive meeting updates can contact the NRC for assistance.
Simple Explanation
