- Risk-Informed, Technology-Inclusive Regulatory Framework for Advanced Reactors; Correction
Rule · 2026-15213 · July 28, 2026
The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) published a final rule in the Federal Register on March 30, 2026, to add a risk-informed, performance-based, and technology-inclusive regulatory framework for commercial nuclear plants. The final rule contained an error in the amendatory instruction for the definition, "Facilities" in part 75, "Safeguards On Nuclear Material--Implementation Of Safeguards Agreements Between The United States And The International Atomic Energy Agency." This document corrects the final rule by revising the section that contains the error.
- Risk-Informed, Technology-Inclusive Regulatory Framework for Advanced Reactors; Correction
Rule · 2026-07090 · April 13, 2026
The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is correcting a final rule that was published in the Federal Register (FR) on March 30, 2026, regarding the amendment of the NRC's regulations to add a risk- informed, performance-based, and technology-inclusive regulatory framework for commercial nuclear plants in response to the Nuclear Energy Innovation and Modernization Act. This action is necessary to correct errors in the final rule and address conflicting amendatory instructions between this final rule and the "Categorical Exclusions From Environmental Review" final rule also published on March 30, 2026.
- Risk-Informed, Technology-Inclusive Regulatory Framework for Advanced Reactors
Rule · 2026-06048 · March 30, 2026
The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is amending its regulations by adding a risk-informed, performance-based, and technology-inclusive regulatory framework for commercial nuclear plants in response to the Nuclear Energy Innovation and Modernization Act (NEIMA). The current application and licensing requirements were primarily developed to address license requests concerning light water- cooled reactors and operational requirements for those types of reactors. This final rule responds to NEIMA by creating an alternative, technology-inclusive regulatory framework to accommodate licensing of future commercial nuclear plants, including advanced reactor designs that may not employ light-water technology.
