NRC opens comment period for fusion regulatory changes
The Nuclear Regulatory Commission has taken the next step toward developing fusion regulations, announcing the opening of a 90-day comment period, ending May 27, on a proposed regulatory framework.
In 2023, the NRC commissioners considered three options for the regulatory framework, ultimately selecting to integrate fusion machines into the existing byproduct material approach, which avoids classifying fusion energy systems as utilization facilities. The aim is to implement this approach through changes to 10 CFR Parts 20, 30, 37, 50, 51, 72, 110, 150, 170, and 171.
