The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) considers public involvement in fuel cycle activities to be a cornerstone of strong, fair regulation of these facilities. The public is invited to comment on fuel cycle activities in addition to observing or participating in certain meetings. See our Public Involvement pages for more information.

A description of the activities, an integrated schedule of major regulatory activities for the fuel cycle facilities, and opportunities for public involvement are described.

Building a Smarter Fuel Cycle Licensing and Oversight Programs
The staff initiated two separate working groups to conduct a holistic assessment of fuel cycle licensing and inspection programs. These are new initiatives in which the purpose is to identify improvements for the fuel cycle facilities licensing and inspection programs with the intent to increase effectiveness and efficiency in the licensing and inspection programs. For more information about the working groups’ efforts, see Building a Smarter Fuel Cycle Licensing and Oversight Programs.
