What will happen in the NRCs licensing process?
On receipt of a license application, NRC staff will conduct an acceptance review of the application to ensure that it contains sufficient information to begin its review. NRC staff will also conduct a security review of the application before making it publicly available. The security review will determine if any parts of the application could compromise national security if released. If the application is acceptable, it will be formally docketed and non-classified portions will be made publicly available in the Agencywide Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS) and the NRC’s gas centrifuge licensing page. Shortly after docketing, NRC will issue, in the Federal Register, a notice of opportunity to petition for a hearing. By “hearing,” NRC is referring to a formal judicial process before a single or panel of administrative law judges set up to address NRC licensing issues. At this time, NRC staff will also begin its environmental review. If an EIS is to be prepared, shortly after
