Supporters Join Foes to Claim Victory After NRC Report

Supporters and opponents of departing U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission Chairman Gregory Jaczko used a fresh inspector general’s report on his management and use of authority to claim vindication.

Jaczko didn’t exceed his authority during Japan’s nuclear crisis, as suggested by opponents, though he did frequently intimidate staff who disagreed with him, the agency’s inspector general said in a report released yesterday.
