Adjudications (Hearings)
Under the Atomic Energy Act, Congress established an adjudicatory process that promotes public involvement in hearings on a variety of civilian nuclear matters. Through this hearing process, independent judges on the Atomic Safety and Licensing Board Panel (ASLBP) hear and address concerns of individuals or entities that are directly affected by any licensing or enforcement action involving a facility that produces or uses nuclear materials. Upcoming hearings are listed in our proceedings schedule. For detailed information on ASLBP, see our brochure on "The Atomic Safety and Licensing Board Panel," (NUREG/BR-0249, Rev. 2)
