Two bills (H.R. 2511 and H.R. 2512) amend licensing and siting regulations in the Atomic Energy Act by introducing the concept of one-stop licensing, encouraging standardized design and early site permits, and replacing adjudicatory proceedings with ''hybrid'' hearings. Witnesses speaking for and against the controversial proposals during the two-day hearing included Nunzio Palladino and other Commissioners of the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Energy Secretary Hodel, and representatives of electric utilities, the nuclear industry, and environmental and public interest groups. Two appendices with additional material submitted for the hearing record follow the test of the two bills and the statements and testimony of 12 witnesses.
