July 12, 1978. 9 pp. Testimony before the Senate Committee on Environment and Public Works: Nuclear Requlation Subcommittee; by Monte Canfield, Jr., Director, Enerqy and minerals Div. Contact: Energy and Minerals Dlv. Organization Concerned: Department of Enezgy; Nuclear Regulatory Commission. Con.ressional Relevance: Senate Committee on Emvircasent and Public works: Nuclear Regulation Subccumitte.. Authority: Nuclear Siting and Licensing Act of 1978. National Environmental Policy Act of 1969. The proposed Nuclear Siting and Licensing Act cf 1978 seeks to improve the nuclear powerplant licensing process by: expedititiq licencing through early site approval and preapproved standard powerplant designs, clearly deli.neating the respective roles uf Federal and State regulators, and nodifying putk.ic participa-tion to reduce potential delays in the licensing process. Nuclear powerplant designs and potential sates would be reviewed and approved by the Nuclear fegulatory Commission (NRC) Ln advance of use by utilities. This approach is already being implemented edministratively and has not resulted in reduced leadtimes. The proposed legislation would permit NBC to issue a combined ocoustruction and operating license after one review. This would eliminate much duplication, but other alternatives should be considered. Erevisions for eliminating mandotcty reviews by the Advisory Committee on Ruaector Safeguards on dpplications for nonstandardized plants were not favored. The Bill also makes uLnecessary chaages in the extent of putlic participation in the licensing process. 4H2U)
