Summary
The Efficient Nuclear Licensing Hearings Act changes the Atomic Energy Act so the Nuclear Regulatory Commission can grant construction permits, operating licenses, or amendments without holding a formal hearing when no stakeholder asks for one. It requires a 30‑day public notice and publication in the Federal Register, and any hearing that does occur must use informal procedures. The goal is to speed up nuclear facility licensing while still giving the public a chance to be heard.
