The Nuclear Regulatory Commission and Rulemaking
Abstract
This paper examines various factors affecting rulemaking within the Nuclear Regulatory Commission. Specifically, the dynamics of the agency, its policy area, and policy environment are analyzed through an overview of NRC history and development of a specific pair of rules pertaining to regulation of high-level radioactive waste storage facilities. Also, the preliminary stages of rule development, their ties to the dynamic changes occurring within the agency, and their importance on rule development are looked at.
