M2 Transformation and Modernization of NRC Environmental Review Processes—Meeting the Challenge
Sponsored by the Office of Nuclear Material Safety and Safeguards
This session will describe how the NRC continues to meet its requirements under the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) and associated laws, while transforming its reviews into a more modern and risk-informed framework. Staff members will highlight how they are adapting environmental experience to support a new generation of NEPA reviews for advanced reactor technologies, license renewals, nonpower reactors, and materials applications. Recent experiences and lessons learned, project updates, and future ideas will be discussed by a wide variety of staff and stakeholders.
