On Oct. 21, Good Energy Collective released the following statement from Deputy Director Jackie Toth on Rep. Mike Levin’s (CA-49) introduction of the NRC Office of Public Engagement and Participation Act of 2022:
“Transparency and accessibility are critical to good governance. Establishing an Office of Public Engagement and Participation at the Nuclear Regulatory Commission would ensure the NRC can help communities understand how the agency meets its mandate to protect public health and the environment. It’s crucial as we continue to generate power from nuclear energy that our government makes information and resources available to interested and affected members of the public. Last year, we were excited to see another independent energy regulator — the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission — establish its long-awaited Office of Public Participation and want to see that effort replicated at the NRC. We appreciate Rep. Mike Levin’s commitment to making sure our country’s nuclear regulators can be a supportive community partner going forward.”
