Summary: The Oregon Department of Energy (ODOE) opposes the proposed rule because it prioritizes speed and scale over transparency and safety, specifically criticizing the use of blanket NEPA categorical exclusions. They argue that the rule creates safety gaps regarding operator licensing, conflicts with state siting authority, and uses insufficiently conservative public health dose limits.
