UNITED STATES NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION WASHINGTON, D.C. 20555-0001 CHAIRMAN June 4, 2025 The Honorable Rand Paul Chairman, Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs United States Senate Washington, DC 20510
Dear Chairman Paul:
On behalf of the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC), I am submitting this letter as the NRC's annual report related to the protection of whistleblowers required by the "National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2018" (Public Law 115-91) (the Act). The Act requires agencies to incorporate the protection of whistleblowers into job requirements and performance standards of supervisory employees. Thereafter, each agency is to report annually to Congress the number of supervisors who failed to meet these critical standards, the reasons for the determination that they failed, and what performance-based or corrective actions were taken by the agency in response. Beginning in fiscal year 2022 and in each subsequent year, whistleblower protection language has been included in supervisory performance appraisals. The NRC had no confirmed violations of the Act during our last performance cycle of fiscal year 2024.
If you have any questions or need additional information, please contact me or have your staff contact Eugene Dacus, Director of the Office of Congressional Affairs, at (301) 415-1776.
Sincerely,
-3::JD
David A. Wright cc: Senator Gary C. Peters
