“The NRC's reputation as the gold-standard nuclear regulator was
established over the 40 years since its creation in 1975,” Whitfield
said. “However, proposed regulatory actions have threatened to deviate
from the commission's stated principles, diminishing the commission’s
credibility. In fact, (Energy and Commerce Committee) Chairman (Fred)
Upton (R-MI) and I sent a letter expressing our concerns with the use of
qualitative factors by the NRC to justify rulemakings. I’m hopeful the
NRC will work to improve the organization's efficiency.”
During the hearing, legislators stressed the need for sound regulatory
policies and outlined concerns with the increasing price of regulatory
compliance associated with NRC rulemaking and activity.
“Nuclear power generation faces strong economic challenges, from
low-cost natural gas to minimal growth in electricity demand,” John
Shimkus (R-IL), chairman of the Subcommittee on Environment and the
Economy, said. “On top of that, regulatory costs have doubled over the
last decade, and I’m concerned that these increased compliance costs
will further harm vital, but economically distressed, nuclear power
plants. I’m hopeful the commission will take actions to limit the
cumulative effects of regulation in cases where there is little to no
additional safety benefit. The nuclear industry needs certainty from a
reliable and efficient regulator.”
