Nuclear Regulatory Commission Chairman Gregory Jaczko recommended the adoption of a safety culture policy statement for all nuclear facilities Tuesday.
“[The safety culture policy] is an area that I think there is tremendous uncertainty and tremendous interest among licensees, among the public, and I think it’s an area that we need to ultimately bring to some closure,” said Jaczko.
The safety culture policy would entail a common definition of safety practices that would be a guideline for all nuclear facilities.
Jaczko also recommended changing NRC’s money management, updating security and safety regulations, and enhancing the Commission’s communication efforts with the public.
