Senators Bernie Sanders and Ed Markey were the opposing voices, with the latter claiming that the ADVANCE Act turns the NRC into a facilitator rather than a regulator. “This bill puts promotion over protection, and corporate profits over cleaning up the community,” Markey said.
Environmental groups reacted strongly for and against the bill. Dr. Edwin Lehman, Director of Nuclear Power Safety at the Union of Concerned Scientists (UCS) in A “Make no mistake: This is not about making the reactor licensing process more efficient, it is about weakening oversight of safety and security across the board, which is a long-term goal of the industry.”
