The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) has submitted a request to renew an information collection titled "Voluntary Reporting of Planned New Reactor Applications" to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB). This collection aims to help the NRC plan and prepare for potential new reactor applications by estimating resource needs and improving communication with applicants. They are inviting public comments on this request until January 27, 2025. The data collected will be used to better allocate resources for construction, licensing, and other regulatory activities related to new reactor projects.
Simple Explanation
The NRC wants to know when new reactors might be built, so they asked for information. They told everyone about it and want to hear people’s thoughts by January 27, 2025.
