Uranium fuel cycle impacts from spent fuel reprocessing and radioactive waste management

Pursuant to U.S. Court of Appeals' finding that the fuel-cycle rule was inadequately supported by the record insofar as it treated the impacts from the reprocessing of spent fuel and the impacts from radioactive waste management, a revised table is being proposed by the Commission as an interim substitute for the waste management and reprocessing values presently set forth in Table S-3A. The interim rule is proposed for use in licensing LWRs only during the time required for completion of the public hearing and proceedings thereon; at a maximum the rule will only be effective 18 months
