                        ENERGY AND WATER DEVELOPMENT
                     APPROPRIATIONS FOR FISCAL YEAR 2018


                                   WEDNESDAY,   JUNE  7, 2017

                                                        U.S. SENATE,
                       SUBCOMMITTEE OF THE COMMITTEE  ON APPROPRIATIONS,
                                                             Washington, DC.
                    The subcommittee met at 2:32 p.m., in room SD-138, Dirksen
                  Senate Office Building, Hon. Lamar Alexander (chairman) pre-
                  siding.
                    Present: Senators Alexander, Kennedy, Feinstein, and Tester.
                             NUCLEAR   REGULATORY COMMISSION
                  STATEMENT  OF HON. KRISTINE SVINICKI, CHAIRMAN
                         OPENING STATEMENT OF SENATOR LAMAR ALEXANDER
                    Senator ALEXANDER. The  Subcommittee on Energy  and Water
                  Development will please come to order.
                    Today's hearing will review the Administration's fiscal year 2018
                  budget request for the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission. It's
                  the first of the subcommittee's four budget hearings this year. We'll
                  have three more this month.
                    Senator Feinstein and I will each have an opening statement. I'll
                  then recognize each Senator for up to 5 minutes for an opening
                  statement.
                    We'll then turn to Chairman Kristine Svinicki to present testi-
                  mony on behalf of the Nuclear Regulatory Commission. Then I'll in-
                  vite Commissioner Baran and Commission Burns an opportunity to
                  make a brief statement, if they'd like to do that. And then at the
                  conclusion of that, I'll recognize Senators for 5 minutes of questions
                  going back and forth.
                    First, I'd like to thank our witnesses for being here. And let me
                  say at the outset, thank you for working so well together and work-
                  ing so well with me and our staff, and I think that's true of Senator
                  Feinstein as well, although I won't try to speak for her.
                    There was a time a few years ago when there was dissension at
                  the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, and it spilled over into our
                  hearings and made life a little difficult, but I don't notice any of
                  that now, and I appreciate the professionalism with which you
                  have, that you demonstrate in your jobs, and the professionalism
                  that you demonstrate in response to our oversight and our ques-
                  tions.
                    And, of course, it almost goes without saying, but I don't want
                  to go without it, what a privilege it is to serve with Senator Fein-
                                               (1)
