NRC Extends Deadline for Comments On Spent Nuclear Fuel Proposed Rule

摘要

The Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) extended by three weeks-until Dec. 20-the deadline for public comments on a proposed rule and supporting environmental study on the effects of extended storage of spent nuclear fuel beyond the licensed operating life of commercial reactors. The NRC also rescheduled five public meetings on extended storage that were postponed due to the government shutdown and will hold an additional teleconference to receive public input on Dec. 9.
