The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is inviting public comments on a draft Regulatory Guide (DG-1423) titled "Emergency Response Planning and Preparedness for Nuclear Power Reactors." This guide is a proposed update to an existing guide and aims to endorse recent revisions of key documents related to emergency response for nuclear reactors. Specific updates include supporting a remote response capability for emergency responders and updating emergency action levels for non-passive reactors. The NRC encourages comments by April 9, 2025, and provides multiple methods for public submission of feedback.
Simple Explanation
The NRC wants to update the rules for how people should react if something bad happens at a nuclear power plant, like making sure some people can help from far away. They want people to share their thoughts on these new rules by a certain date.
