NRC Begins Picking Meeting Sites for Decommissioning Advisory Board Report - ExchangeMonitor | Page 1: The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission hopes in August to begin a series of at least 10 meetings to gather public input for preparation of a congressionally mandated report on best practices for local community boards to provide advice on nuclear decommissioning projects.

The report is due by 2020 under the terms of Sen. John Barrasso’s (R-Wy.) Nuclear Energy Innovation and Modernization Act, which was signed into law in January. In March, the NRC issued a notice requesting suggestions for meeting locations. It received 19 comments by the April 17 deadline.
