NRC Says No to Nuclear Cooling Rule Changes, Keeps Status Quo
Published Date: 7/28/2025
Proposed Rule
Summary
The NRC said no to a request asking for new rules about how nuclear plants handle loss-of-coolant accidents. Instead, they’re sticking with their smart, risk-based way of making sure cooling systems work during emergencies. This means nuclear plants and the public can keep trusting the current safety checks without any costly changes or delays.
