The NRC's goal is to establish effective and efficient licensing of applications using fuels enriched to greater than 5.0 and less than 20.0 weight percent uranium- 235. The NRC will hold a public meeting to promote a full understanding of the planned rulemaking and facilitate public comment on the regulatory basis.

Appendix B provides additional guidance for the scope, level of detail, elements, and plant representation for a probabilistic risk assessment (PRA) supporting a Licensing Modernization Project (LMP)-based construction permit application.
