The deadlines are not in force. The order tells the NRC to write them into its rules; no application is bound by them yet, so they are a yardstick here. Most of what has been decided was filed before the order. The clock runs from docketing for a new reactor and from filing for a renewal, and stops at the decision. An application filed in parts, or an early site permit, is shown but not scored.
