Critics of the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) spoke directly to commissioners, saying the agency was too cozy with the industry, and had not done nearly enough to implement new safety recommendations in the wake of the 2011 Japanese earthquake, tsunami, and subsequent power plant accident. The NRC meeting also included speakers from the nuclear power industry, who said the industry would meet its deadlines for the highest priority recommendations. http://www.c-spanvideo.org/program/307487-1 info@c-spanarchives.org (National Cable Satellite Corporation) Public Affairs Event http://www.c-spanvideo.org/program/307487-1 Thu, 09 Aug 2012 21:47:26 GMT Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) members testified on the implementation of new safety changes put into place following the nuclear emergency at Japan's Fukushima Daiichi plant after an earthquake. http://www.c-spanvideo.org/program/304879-1 info@c-spanarchives.org (National Cable Satellite Corporation) Senate Committee http://www.c-spanvideo.org/program/304879-1 Thu, 15 Mar 2012 14:01:26 GMT Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) members testified on on nuclear reactor safety following Japan's disaster earlier in the year. Senators in their opening statement referred repeatedly to the previous day's House hearing in which NRC commissioners accused Chair Jaczko of abusive management practices that undermine the agency's mission. http://www.c-spanvideo.org/program/303204-1 info@c-spanarchives.org (National Cable Satellite Corporation) Senate Committee http://www.c-spanvideo.org/program/303204-1 Fri, 16 Dec 2011 01:02:03 GMT Nuclear Regulatory Commission commissioners testified before the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee about recent allegations of mismanagement directed at Commission Chair Greg Jaczko. The commissioners accused the chair of abusive management practices that undermined the agency's mission. Chair Jaczko denied those charges, saying he has no plans to resign. http://www.c-spanvideo.org/program/303179-1 info@c-spanarchives.org (National Cable Satellite Corporation) House Committee http://www.c-spanvideo.org/program/303179-1 Thu, 15 Dec 2011 04:44:48 GMT Commissioners testified on the NRC's 90 day report, which was released in July. It laid out numerous areas for improvement, based on the experience in Japan after the March 11 earthquake and tsunami. American plants need to plan for simultaneous accidents at adjacent reactors, something they have never done. http://www.c-spanvideo.org/program/300855-1 info@c-spanarchives.org (National Cable Satellite Corporation) Senate Committee http://www.c-spanvideo.org/program/300855-1 Wed, 03 Aug 2011 04:18:24 GMT A special task force created to investigate the Japanese nuclear disaster presented its findings to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC). It included recommendations for improving backup power systems at nuclear plants. NRC Chairman Gregory Jaczko called on his agency to complete consideration of new safety recommendations within 90 days. He also said the industry would have five years to implement any new regulations that resulted from that process. http://www.c-spanvideo.org/program/300594-1 info@c-spanarchives.org (National Cable Satellite Corporation) Public Affairs Event http://www.c-spanvideo.org/program/300594-1 Thu, 21 Jul 2011 11:12:00 GMT Members of the Nuclear Regulatory Commission testified about safety at U.S. nuclear plants. Among the issues commission members discussed were the preliminary findings of a task force review of plant safety in the wake of the recent nuclear disaster in Japan, and how U.S. nuclear operators would handle natural disasters and the loss of power at their facilities. http://www.c-spanvideo.org/program/300066-1 info@c-spanarchives.org (National Cable Satellite Corporation) Senate Committee http://www.c-spanvideo.org/program/300066-1 Thu, 16 Jun 2011 14:03:06 GMT The Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) established a task force to review U.S. nuclear plant regulations in the wake of the Japanese Nuclear accident at the Fukushima Daiichi plant. Documents released in advance of the meeting indicated that the task force believed U.S. nuclear plants had good emergency procedures and remained safe. The meeting came days after the [New York Times] reported that some critics of the NRC believed it had too close of a relationship with the nuclear industry. This was a preliminary meeting, and the task force's final report to the commission was due in July. http://www.c-spanvideo.org/program/299473-1 info@c-spanarchives.org (National Cable Satellite Corporation) Public Affairs Event http://www.c-spanvideo.org/program/299473-1 Thu, 12 May 2011 23:01:42 GMT Members of the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) held a meeting on Japan's nuclear power plant crisis, the potential threat of radiation exposure to U.S. territories, and the safety of U.S. reactors. NRC Executive Director Bill Borchardt said the Fukushima nuclear plant was on the verge of being stabilized. Other topics included the infrastructure needed to respond property to earthquakes or other disasters, possible causes of the explosions at Japan's plants, and the differences in safety precautions between U.S. and Japanese plants. At the conclusion of the meeting, NRC Director of Public Affairs Eliot Brenner responded to questions from reporters. http://www.c-spanvideo.org/program/298597-1 info@c-spanarchives.org (National Cable Satellite Corporation) Public Affairs Event http://www.c-spanvideo.org/program/298597-1 Tue, 22 Mar 2011 02:11:30 GMT
