As deployment of advanced reactors accelerates, federal and state agencies are increasing efforts to “right-size” environmental reviews to match the inherent lower risk profile of these technologies. This panel will dive into key reforms aimed at streamlining environmental permitting, National Environmental Policy Act reviews and related consultations. Panelists will highlight how these initiatives support efficient, risk-informed licensing while upholding environmental protections and transparency in decision-making.
