Exemptions From Materials Licensing
What happened
The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is changing several regulations for byproduct, source, and special nuclear material. These changes expand how specific nuclear material can be used without needing a license. This action, signed by Donald Trump, is designed to be deregulatory and consistent with Executive orders.
Why it matters
This means fewer organizations and individuals will need to go through the process of obtaining licenses for certain uses and quantities of nuclear materials. It aims to make licensing safer, more efficient, and more reliable by removing some licensing requirements.
