handle is hein.gao/gaobabcey0001 and id is 1 raw text is: I e1 1 ........ ........... ....... .. ... BY THE COMPTROLLER GENERAL Report To The Congress OF THE UNITED STATES Improvements Needed In The Nuclear Regulatory Commission's Office Of Inspector And Auditor To help the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (N RC) carry out its responsibilities, a special office of Inspector and Auditor was created in April 1975 to independently review and appraise all NRC opera- tions. This office, in essence, was to provide the Commissioners with oversight over NRC programs and activities and recommend corrective actions. 115874 GAO found that the Office of Inspector and Audi- tor has not been using proven management tech- niques in scheduling and carrying out its work. These techniques range from systematic planning and prioritization to timely and consistent followup on work. If such techniques were used, it would result in a more orderly management approach and lead to higher quality reports and a better use of staff resources. The independence of the Office of Inspector and Auditor needs to be strengthened. In GAO's view, this only may be possible if NRC accepts and imple- ments the recommendations contained in this re- port. GAO also suggests that Congress consider establishing a statutory Inspector General office at the NRC. Such an office could help ensure that the Congress and the Commissioners receive objective information on problems within the Commission and enhance public trust in the regulation of com- mercial nuclear power. \ f4 UL 1 EMD-81-72 4CCOJULY 9,1981 ' 1 '#...i/ ' :7' ::::/
