BY THE COMPTROLLER GENERAL



Report To The Congress


OF THE UNITED STATES


Higher Penalties Could Deter

Violations Of Nuclear Regulations





This report discusses the Nuclear Regulatory
Commission's use of civil penalties to enforce
its regulations governing the construction and
operation of commercial nuclear facilities and
the possession, use, and disposal of nuclear
materials.

The Commission has requested that the
amount it can impose as a penalty be in-
creased to $100,000 from the present $5,0100
for each violation and to $300,000 for all
violations in a 30-day period from the present
$25,000.

GAO concurs but does not agree that the
maximum penalty for all violations in a
30-day period shoukd be restricted to
$300,000.

The report recommends ways the Commission
can strengthen its civil penalty authority.
