NRC to add new items to categorical exclusions list
The Nuclear Regulatory Commission has identified five categories of action to add to its list of categorical exclusions to reduce its documentation work under National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) procedures.
These revisions are included in the final rule, “Categorical exclusions from environmental review,” which was published in the Federal Register on March 30. The final rule will become effective on April 29.
The International Council operates as a standing subcommittee under the ANS External Affairs Committee’s (EAC) direction in order to:
1. Enrich the information exchange among nuclear experts worldwide.
2. Advise ANS on international developments and ensure that ANS is recognized internationally.
3. Stimulate and coordinate the cooperation of ANS with other internationally operating nuclear and non-nuclear organizations.
4. Position ANS as the recognition point for nuclear science and technology advocacy practices in support of the international objectives of safe, secure, and affordable uses of nuclear science and technology.
