NRC ADVANCE Act Implementation
The Nuclear Regulatory Commission is expected to discuss activities under the Accelerating Deployment of Versatile, Advanced Nuclear for Clean Energy Act, or ADVANCE Act, passed in 2024. Under the act, the commission is required to take a number of actions, particularly in the areas of licensing of new reactors and fuels, while maintaining its core safety and security mission. The act affects a wide range of commission activities, including enhancing the regulatory framework for advanced reactors and fusion technology, and requiring initiatives to support efficient, timely, and predictable reviews of license applications.
