Abstract:
PROPOSED RULE- Licensing Requirements for Microreactors and Other Reactors with Comparable Risk Profiles The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is proposing to amend its regulations to establish a risk-informed and performance-based regulatory framework for rapid licensing of new microreactors and other reactors with comparable risk profiles and for high-volume deployment of these reactors. The proposed rule would provide a flexible set of licensing pathways, reduce regulatory burden, and ensure that safety and security requirements remain commensurate with the potential hazards posed by these facilities. The purpose of this rulemaking is to expedite the licensing process for microreactors and other reactors with comparable risk profiles. This effort is consistent with, and implements direction in, the Accelerating Deployment of Versatile, Advanced Nuclear for Clean Energy Act of 2024 (ADVANCE Act), and Executive Order (EO) 14300, “Ordering the Reform of the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.” This information collection covers burden associated with proposed Part 57, “Licensing Requirements for Microreactors and Other Reactors with Comparable Risk Profiles,” as well as burden associated with revised information collections in Part 26, “Fitness for Duty Programs,” Part 73, “Physical Protection of Plants and Materials,” and NRC Forms 361, 366, 366A, 366B, 396, and 398. It also includes burden associated with new information collection in proposed Part 57 and proposed Forms 893 and 894.

Short Statement:
The information collected is essential to permit the NRC to evaluate applications and issue licenses under Part 57, as well as effectively exercise its oversight functions and monitor licensee compliance with Part 57 regulations. Changes in burden for Parts 26 and 73 and NRC Forms 361T, 366, 366A, 366B, 396, 398, 893, and 894 support these goals as well.
