AI-generated summary, report an errorThis bill changes federal law on licensing uranium enrichment facilities. It removes the requirement that the Nuclear Regulatory Commission license both construction and operation, so a license would cover operation only. It replaces the required single on-the-record hearing with a hearing granted on request of any person whose interest may be affected. It allows a company to start building a facility after its application is docketed and before a license is issued, at the company's own risk, if it notifies state, local, and certain tribal governments at least 15 days before starting. The Commission must update its regulations within 180 days and may grant exemptions to pending applicants.
