Within 24 hours of issuing a safety analysis or preliminary safety analysis for a facility, it would have to post the analysis, with commercially sensitive information removed. Within 24 hours of agreeing to authorize a facility, it would have to post the agreement and any conditions, and each year it would have to report its authorization activities to House and Senate energy committees.
