Description

The Nuclear Regulatory Comm. (NRC) is responsible for overseeing the nation’s 103 commercial nuclear power plants to ensure they are operated safely. The safety of these plants has always been important, since an accident could release harmful radioactive material. NRC’s oversight has become even more critical as the potential resurgence of nuclear power is considered. NRC implemented a new Reactor Oversight Process (ROP) in 2000 to address weaknesses in its oversight of nuclear plant safety. This report reviewed: (1) how NRC oversees nuclear power plants; (2) the results of the ROP over the past several years; & (3) the status of NRC’s efforts to improve the ROP. Includes recommendations. Charts & tables.
