Ampera Submits Engagement Plan to U.S. Nuclear Regulator

Advanced nuclear company AMPERA has submitted a comprehensive Regulatory Engagement Plan to the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) as part of the pre-application phase for licensing.

The plan outlines AMPERA's approach to preparing and submitting a licensing application for four nuclear reactors. The company has previously announced intentions to construct small modular reactors (SMRs) at multiple sites in the United States.

Submitting the engagement plan is a key step in the process toward obtaining approval for constructing and operating a commercial nuclear reactor. The NRC will review the plan and provide feedback to AMPERA before formally processing the license application.

AMPERA anticipates the NRC's review and subsequent decisions based on the evaluation. The company has engaged with the NRC previously, receiving preliminary feedback on its proposals.
