What it does
The Department of Energy Nuclear Transparency Act would require the Secretary of Energy to publicly announce, within 24 hours, any alterations to directives or safety standards, issuances of documented or preliminary documented safety analyses, and authorizations related to certain DOE nuclear facilities, posting these announcements on a publicly accessible DOE website. The bill applies to Hazard Category 1, 2, and 3 DOE nuclear facilities under the Secretary’s authority, and requires annual reporting to congressional committees on authorization activities. Announcements must include summaries of changes and, where permissible, the full safety analyses, with modifications allowed only to remove commercially sensitive information.
