The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission has initiated a six-week readiness assessment of draft materials for the SOLO micro-modular reactor. This first phase involves a multidisciplinary team reviewing the company's environmental report and nine chapters of the preliminary safety analysis report to identify potential information gaps before a formal construction permit application.

This pre-submission process allows developers to address regulatory concerns early, potentially streamlining the formal docketing phase. For the industry, this reflects a shift toward iterative engagement between vendors and regulators to manage licensing risks for advanced reactor designs. The NRC will issue a report summarizing its observations following the conclusion of this assessment.
