What this bill does
H.R. 9351, the NRC Survey Act, would require the Inspector General of the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) to create and distribute two optional and anonymous surveys. The first survey would go to NRC employees, and if feasible, a similar survey would be sent to stakeholders in the nuclear industry. Both surveys aim to gather information and suggestions for improving the efficiency and effectiveness of the NRC's operations, particularly concerning the licensing of nuclear reactors.
The surveys would ask about potential enhancements to licensing frameworks, improvements to how the NRC learns about reactor designs, outreach to stakeholders, and the use of risk-informed approaches. They would also seek feedback on regulations, streamlining processes for similar reactors, the impact of licensing timelines on investment, and potential revisions to nuclear energy terms and definitions. Employees would also be asked about daily challenges, the ability to handle future licensing applications, and the NRC's mission.
This bill was introduced in the House of Representatives on November 22, 2022, and was referred to the Committee on Energy and Commerce. It has not advanced beyond its introduction. If passed, the Inspector General would be required to submit a report to Congress detailing the survey responses.
