Title: Generic Environmental Impact Statement for Licensing of New Nuclear Reactors [NRC-2020-0101] 
Abstract:

This rulemaking would amend the NRC’s regulations that govern the agency's National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) reviews. The rulemaking would codify the findings of the Advanced Nuclear Reactor Generic Environmental Impact Statement (ANR GEIS). The ANR GEIS would use a technology-neutral regulatory framework and performance-based assumptions to determine generic environmental impacts for new commercial advanced nuclear reactors. The ANR GEIS would streamline the NEPA reviews for future advanced reactor applicants.
