Summary: The Abundance Institute, Last Energy, and Valar Atomics support the NRC's proposed rule to modernize nuclear licensing for microreactors, praising its risk-informed and performance-based approach. However, they urge the Commission to further streamline the process by recognizing a "Tier 1" category for very low-risk reactors that fall below the statutory threshold for "utilization facilities."
