NRC Corrects Formatting Errors in Microreactor Licensing Rule
/ 1 min read
Table of Contents
The Nuclear Regulatory Commission published a correction to a proposed rule it released on May 1, 2026. That rule would establish licensing requirements for microreactors and other small reactors with comparable risk profiles.
Why it matters: This is administrative housekeeping. The correction fixes formatting errors and typos so the proposed rule is readable and accurate. It does not alter the requirements for microreactor developers, nor does it change the deadline for public comment. If you were reviewing the May 1 document, this update allows you to rely on the corrected section numbers and headings.
Who it affects
- Developers and companies planning to build microreactors who are reviewing the proposed licensing requirements.
The Nuclear Regulatory Commission issued this correction via the Federal Register; readers should consult the original proposed rule for the full regulatory text and comment deadlines.
