Rule
Summary
The NRC has decided to stop working on new rules about long-term cooling and automatic water refills for spent fuel pools at nuclear plants. This means nuclear plant operators won’t face new requirements or costs related to these changes anytime soon. The public is being informed that the petition asking for these updates was denied, so things will stay as they are for now.
