Immediate license changes for NSHC amendments
If you operate a nuclear plant, the NRC can make an amendment to your operating license or combined license immediately if it determines the amendment "involves no significant hazards consideration" (NSHC). The NRC may do this even if someone has asked for a hearing, so the change can take effect quickly. The NRC also publishes a monthly notice of any amendments issued or proposed.
