What this bill does
The proposed bill, H.R. 1006, titled the NRC Survey Act, would require the Inspector General of the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) to create and distribute surveys. The surveys would be optional and anonymous and would be sent to NRC employees to gather feedback on the agency's efficiency and effectiveness. If possible, similar surveys would also be sent to stakeholders within the nuclear industry.
The surveys would ask questions about potential improvements to the NRC's licensing processes, how the agency prepares for and learns about new reactor designs, and ways to enhance outreach to industry stakeholders. It also asks for input on outdated regulations, the effectiveness of current review processes, and suggestions for modernizing the agency's approach to licensing. The bill outlines specific questions related to these areas and also includes provisions for reporting the survey results to Congress.
This bill was introduced in the House of Representatives on February 14, 2023, and has been referred to the Committee on Energy and Commerce. No further action has been taken on the bill since its introduction.
