NRC Seeks Public Comment on Implementation of Reactor Oversight Process

October 15, 2007 // Published as a news service by IHS

commercial nuclear power plants

Each year the NRC seeks feedback to help the commission continue to improve its regulatory approach.

The NRC is requesting the public's answers to a list of 26 questions relating to the ROP, including the following:

Does the inspection program adequately cover areas important to safety?

Is the information in NRC inspection reports useful to you?

Is the ROP understandable, and are the processes, procedures and products clear and written in plain English?

Has the public had sufficient opportunity to participate in the ROP and provide input and comments?

All 26 questions are contained in the Federal Register notice. The notice is available on the NRC web site.

The comment period runs until Dec. 7. Visit the above link for submission information.
