OSTI ID:5630408

Part 6 of the hearing record covers testimony by Nunzio J. Palladino and other commissioners and directors of the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC), who described how NRC is organized and how it operates in response to a survey and study of NRC operations prepared for the Committee on Appropriations. The witnesses responded to negative reports of distrust, fiscal inefficiency, ambiguity, and a failure to modify regulatory requirements to reflect new information. The witnesses disagreed that there has been any decline or compromise with plant safety, but agreed that the backfitting program needs better procedures. The volume includes the text of the report and both written comment and oral testimony before the committee.
