Former NRC commissioners lend support to efforts to eliminate mandatory hearings
A group of nine former nuclear regulatory commissioners sent a letter Wednesday to the current Nuclear Regulatory Commission members lending support to efforts to get rid of mandatory hearings in the licensing process, which should speed up the process by three to six months and save millions of dollars.
Curtiss-Wright offers a comprehensive range of products and services that sustain the safe and reliable operation of nuclear power plants across the world. Our nuclear legacy dates back to 1957, when the first commercial nuclear power plant in Shippingport, PA began its operations.
