Description

The 2011 disaster at Japan's Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant demonstrated that unexpected nuclear accidents with extreme consequences can occur, and thus it heightened concerns about the Nuclear Regulatory Comm.äó»s (NRCäó»s) ability to oversee the safety of U.S. commercial nuclear power reactors. NRC oversees safety through multiple processes, such as physically inspecting reactors and also responding to signs of declining performance or violations of its requirements. This report examines (1) how NRC implements its processes for overseeing the safety of commercial nuclear power reactors; (2) the extent to which NRC consistently identifies and resolves findings through these processes; and (3) NRCäó»s methods for developing lessons learned to improve its oversight and challenges NRC faces in doing so. Tables and figures. This is a print on demand report.
