The Nuclear Re ulator Commisson. More Aggressive Leadership Needed The Energy Reorganization Act of 19741 which established the Nuclear Regulatory Commission required GAO to evaluate the: Commission's performance by January 18, 1980. This report responds to that require- ment. GAO concluded that, although improve- ments have been made, the Commission's. nuclear regulatory performance can be characterized best as slow, -indecisive,. cau- tious--in a word, complacent. This has large- ly resulted from a lack of. aggressive leader- ship as evidenced by the Commissioners' failure to establish regulatory goals, control policymaking, -and most _importantly, clear- ly define their roles in nuclear regulation. GAO also compared the existing commis- sion organization form With alternative forms. Ultimately, the Congress must decide which organization form, on balance, is best for nuclear regulation. GAO concluded that (1) if the existing .organization form is re- tained, the Commission Chairman's role should be strengthened, and (2) a commis- sion is the superior organization form for nuclear regulatory policymaking.
