NRC regulation of TVA. Hearings before the Subcommittee on Oversight and Investigations of the Committee on Energy and Commerce, House of Representatives, Ninety-Ninth Congress, Second Session, February 26, June 11, and October 1, 1986

Nuclear Regulatory Commissioners, Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) chairman Charles Dean, and members of both agencies, as well as representatives of review groups testified at a hearing on the performance of regulators in overseeing TVA's nuclear programs, all of which are inoperative. The witnesses reviewed certification, licensing, and inspection processes which reflect poor management on the part of NRC and indifference to TVA. Of major concern was the sacrifice of safety for expeditious construction. The hearing took place over three days in February, June, and October of 1986. Material submitted for the record follows the testimony of the 19 witnesses
