Prompted by the ADVANCE Act and Executive Order (EO) 14300, “Ordering the Reform of the Nuclear Regulatory Commission,” the Nuclear Regulatory Commission has recently made a number of changes aimed at increasing licensing efficiency.

Today, the agency is implementing another change to the same effect, rolling out a revision of its Differing Views Program (DVP). This revision aims to significantly reduce the time each differing view requires without compromising the NRC’s commitment to safety.
