Major Management Challenges and Performance Risks: Nuclear Regulatory Commission

Abstract

This report addresses the major performance and accountability challenges facing the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) as it seeks to ensure adequate protection of public health and safety, promote common defense and security, and protect the environment by regulating the nation's civilian use of nuclear fuels and materials. It includes a summary of actions that NRC has taken and that under way to address these challenges. It also outlines further actions that GAO believes are needed. This analysis should help the new Congress and administration carry out their responsibilities and improve government for the benefit of the American people.
