What changed

The US Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) has compiled a list of its news releases for 2024. This compilation includes announcements regarding personnel changes, such as the appointment of new resident inspectors and regional administrators, as well as significant statements and actions. Notably, the list features an order prohibiting a former manager from NRC-related activities, a statement on the passing of former President Carter, and announcements seeking public comment on draft supplemental environmental impact statements for license renewals and proposed rules for advanced reactors.

This document serves as an informational notice for regulated entities and the public, providing a centralized reference to the NRC's communications throughout 2024. While it does not impose new obligations, it highlights areas of regulatory focus, including environmental reviews for license renewals and the development of rules for advanced reactors. Compliance officers should review specific news releases of interest for any potential implications or required actions, particularly those related to public comment periods or enforcement actions.
