Federal/State Regulatory Permitting Actions in Selected Nuclear Power Station Licensing Cases

PDF Version Also Available for Download.

Description

Abstract: This report documents the Federal/State regulatory permitting actions in 12 case histories of nuclear power station licensing in nine different states. General observations regarding Federal/State siting roles in the siting process include: new regulations, with the exceptions of those imposed by NEPA, were not found to be the source of significant delay; interventions were the sources of significant delay in only two cases; in only two cases was a local agency a source of delay; no one factor was found to be a source of delay, rather several factors often combined to cause delay; it is still too early … continued below

Eleven of the case histories are illustrated with a logic network that gives the actions of the utilities in addition to the Federal/State permits.
