Advancing Nuclear Regulatory Oversight Act

This bill requires the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) to submit two reports. First, within 180 days, the NRC must report on how it adjusted regulatory processes during the COVID-19 pandemic, including impacts on licensing safety oversight. Second, within one year, the NRC must propose specific improvements to streamline nuclear reactor and materials inspections - using technology, risk assessments, and staff training - to boost efficiency without compromising safety standards. The bill directly affects the NRC’s internal operations and oversight procedures, not the public or nuclear facility operators.
