France-based advanced modular reactor technology and nuclear fuel company Newcleo has submitted a regulatory engagement plan (REP) to the US Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) for its LFR-AS-200 lead-cooled fast reactor.

The REP sets out the proposed framework for Newcleo’s pre-application engagement with NRC staff in support of the future licensing of the LFR-AS-200.

It provides an overview of the company’s proposed licensing approach and an indicative schedule for technical submissions and interactions with the NRC.
