American Enrichment Deployment Act

This bill amends the Atomic Energy Act of 1954 to update licensing procedures for uranium enrichment facilities, allowing construction to begin before a license is issued under certain conditions. Sec. 2, Licensing of uranium enrichment facilities: The bill changes Section 193 of the Atomic Energy Act to permit 'at-risk construction' of a uranium enrichment facility before a license is granted, under the same terms as other fuel cycle facilities. It also removes the phrase 'construction and' from a subsection and renumbers subsections (c) through (f) as (b) through (e). The Nuclear Regulatory Commission must issue or revise regulations within 180 days of enactment. The bill clarifies that these changes do not affect the Commission's authority to regulate construction as needed for licensing, including denying a license for non-compliant construction, nor do they affect any person's right to a hearing under Section 189 of the Atomic Energy Act.
