The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is withdrawing its policy and strategy on addressing environmental justice in its regulatory and licensing actions. This withdrawal is prompted by a new executive order that cancels a previous order related to environmental justice. The changes are intended to align NRC's practices with updated federal policies. The NRC will continue to comply with the National Environmental Policy Act to ensure environmental considerations are met.
Simple Explanation
The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is stopping its special rules for making sure everyone is treated fairly in protecting the environment because of a new order from the government. They will keep following other important rules to care for the environment.
