American Enrichment Deployment Act

This bill changes federal law on licensing uranium enrichment facilities, which prepare nuclear fuel. It replaces existing rules in the Atomic Energy Act so that a company may begin building an enrichment facility before receiving its license, under the same terms that apply to other nuclear fuel facilities. It removes construction from a sentence in the law dealing with licensing of these facilities. The Nuclear Regulatory Commission must issue or revise regulations within 180 days. The bill states that it does not change the Commission's power to deny a license for improper construction or the right of affected persons to request a hearing.
