Title: Emergency Preparedness for Small Modular Reactors [NRC-2015-0225] 
Abstract:

This rule would amend the NRC's regulations regarding emergency preparedness for small modular reactors and other new technologies. This rulemaking would establish emergency preparedness requirements commensurate with the potential consequences to public health and safety and the common defense and security. This rulemaking would provide regulatory stability, predictability, and clarity in the licensing process and minimize or eliminate uncertainty for applicants who may otherwise have to seek exemptions from the regulations.
