The
NRC today sent a Regulatory Issue Summary to its licensees, Agreement
States and other stakeholders outlining the impact of sequestration on
agency activities.
The summary can be found
here. Basically,
the document says that the NRC expects to take a reduction of $52
million in FY2013 because of sequestration, with cuts scheduled to begin
taking place today. It also says that while the cuts are challenging,
we will manage them in a way that will not negatively affect our ability
to carry out our core mission of public health and safety.
Specific
program delays or deferrals that would take place will be communicated
to the affected NRC licensees, applicants or other stakeholders before
being implemented.
We
plan to continue normal operations to the extent possible, and to
continue our safety and security oversight activities. Please read the
summary for the full text.
