Atomic energy technology, politics, and perceptions from a nuclear energy insider who served as a US nuclear submarine engineer officer

Dr. Gregory Jaczko – Nuclear Regulation in an Era of Growth and Change

May 18, 2010 By Rod Adams

If you happen to be near Stanford University this afternoon – May 18, 2010 – and have some free time between 4:15 and 5:15, visit building 420, room 40 to hear the Chairman of the Nuclear Regulatory Commission give a talk titled Nuclear Regulation In An Era of Growth And Change.

Here is a summary of his chosen topic:

With 104 operating nuclear plants in the United States, and dozens more on the drawing boards, who is protecting the public and the environment? Nuclear Regulatory Commission Chairman Gregory B. Jaczko will discuss the simultaneous challenges of overseeing the existing fleet of reactors, managing in parallel multiple reactor design certification requests and multiple plant construction license requests, and overseeing the safety of and licensing an expansion of the nuclear fuel industry to support new plants, not to mention the storage of spent fuel.
