At the request of the National Commission on the BP Deepwater Horizon Oil Spill and Offshore Drilling, the Bipartisan Policy Center formed a working group to consider the use of moratoria as a method for mitigating future harm in the immediate aftermath of a spill. The working group evaluated the appropriate questions for the federal government to consider in determining which of the suspended activities could safely resume if the moratorium were lifted.
At the request of Nuclear Regulatory Commission Chairman Gregory B. Jaczko, Former Senator and BPC Senior Fellow Pete Domenici and Former NRC Chairman Dick Meserve co-chaired an effort to independently assess the progress that has been made toward licensing Generation III nuclear power plants. The Domenici-Meserve review did not find any evidence that either the NRC or industry has needlessly delayed or extended the licensing process, but did make a series of detailed recommendations for ways in which communication between the NRC and applicants could be improved.
