Nuclear Information and Resource ServiceOpposeAdvocacy
Summary: The Nuclear Information and Resource Service (NIRS) opposes the proposed rule, arguing that it illegally expedites the licensing process by bypassing independent technical reviews and violating several federal statutes like NEPA and the Atomic Energy Act. They contend that the proposed safety criteria are arbitrary, fail to account for aggregate environmental harms, and do not adequately address the complexities of remote reactor operation.
Please accept the attached comments on the proposed rule ("Licensing Requirements for Microreactors and Other Reactors with Comparable Risk Profiles," Docket ID# NRC-2025-0379), hereby submitted the Nuclear Information and Resource Service.
