UNITED STATES NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION WASHINGTON, D.C. 20555-0001 December 9, 2021 The Honorable Nancy Pelosi Speaker of the House of Representatives Washington, DC 20515
Dear Madam Speaker:
On behalf of the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC), I am forwarding the enclosed "The Price-Anderson Act: 2021 Report to Congress." This submission is in accordance with Section 1?0p of the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended . In the Energy Policy Act of 2005, Congress extended the Price-Anderson Act (PAA) through 2025 and modified certain elements of the PAA framework. Congress also required that the Commission submit to them, by December 31, 2021 , a detailed report "concerning the need for continuation or modification of [the Price-Anderson Act], taking into account the condition of the nuclear industry, availability of private insurance, and the state of knowledge concerning nuclear safety at that time, among other relevant factors." The enclosed report recommends only modest changes in connection with continuation of the Price-Anderson Act because the Act provides a valuable public benefit by establishing a system for the prompt and equitable resolution of public liability claims resulting from a nuclear incident.
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, C.Q Christopher T. Hanson
