Last June, Nuclear Regulatory Commission Chair Ivan Selin gave a speech before the board of directors at the Nuclear Management and Resources Council (Numarc). He allowed as how the agency might have contributed to higher operations and maintenance (O M) costs at nuclear power plants through regulations that may not significantly enhance plant safety. Selin then asked Numarc to help the NRC identify regs that are both costly and unhelpful. Numarc, the nuclear utilities' technical and regulatory liaison organization, has felt this way about many regs for many years, and was only too happy to oblige. On January 21, Numarc officials appeared before the NRC and said that reforms in eight regulatory areas could be approved immediate by the commissioners.
