January 6, 2025 The Honorable Shelley Moore Capito Chairman, Committee on Environment and Public Works United States Senate Washington, DC 20510
Dear Chairman Capito:
On behalf of the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC), and as required by the Accelerating Deployment of Versatile, Advanced Nuclear for Clean Energy Act of 2024 (ADVANCE Act), Section 401, I am submitting the NRCs report on Advanced Methods of Manufacturing and Construction for Nuclear Energy Projects. As detailed in the enclosed report, the NRC has several initiatives underway that will improve its agility and preparedness to efficiently review submittals associated with advanced manufacturing and construction for nuclear energy projects. The NRC staff solicited input from stakeholders in accordance with Section 401(b) of the ADVANCE Act and will continue to engage stakeholders in the future as other novel manufacturing techniques emerge in these rapidly evolving areas. The NRC will continue to seek innovative ways to address the use of advanced manufacturing processes, advanced construction techniques, and rapid improvement or iterative innovation processes for nuclear energy projects.
Please contact me or have your staff contact Eugene Dacus, Director of the Office of Congressional Affairs, at (301) 415-1776, if you have questions or need additional information.
Sincerely, Christopher T. Hanson
Enclosure:
