Nuclear Regulatory Commission Hearing has charged testimony

The House Oversight hearing on the leadership of the Nuclear Regulatory Commission is today

The word from tweets and emails is that no one is playing nice at the hearing and the testimony is “hair raising”.

It appears that compromise will not be possible and that either Jackzo or the four other commissioners will have to go or all of them will be replaced.

Science, Space, and Technology Committee Vice Chairman Jim Sensenbrenner (R-WI), Investigations and Oversight Subcommittee Chairman Paul Broun (R-GA), and Energy and Environment Subcommittee Chairman Andy Harris (R-MD) issued the following joint statement calling for Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) Chairman Gregory Jaczko to step down from his post.

NRC commissioner say Chairman Jaczko damages nuclear agency #nuclear #NRC

This is related to the conflict between the NRC chairman and the four other commissioners.

The White House had issued an apology and tried to defuse the situation, but apparently the situation has not been defused.
