Tribal Information Meeting on the Draft Generic Environmental Impact Statement for New Nuclear Reactors
Tuesday, December 3, 2024 (2:00 PM - 4:00 PM) (EST)
Description
The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) has published for comment a proposed rule that would codify the generic findings of NUREG-2249, “Generic Environmental Impact Statement for Licensing of New Nuclear Reactors” (New Reactor GEIS). The proposed rule is available at 89 FR 80797 and the New Reactor GEIS is available at https://www.nrc.gov/docs/ML2417/ML24176A220.pdf. Comments on the proposed rule and draft New Reactor GEIS are due by December 18, 2024, and can be submitted at Regulations.gov.
To support the development of comments, the NRC is holding a closed, virtual meeting for Federally recognized Tribes on Tuesday, December 3, 2024, from 2:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. eastern time (ET). This will be an informational meeting that is not open to the public. This closed meeting is intended to provide Tribal representatives an opportunity to discuss the proposed rule, the New Reactor GEIS, and draft guidance documents, with NRC staff. The NRC staff will explain the changes in the proposed rule and answer questions from attendees. Please feel free to share this meeting registration page with other Tribal representatives.
