"Our bill directs NRC to develop 'technology inclusive' regulatory processes in an effort to enable the growth of the new, exciting industry."

"The interesting thing about this is there are those on your side whose lives are driven by climate change and those on this side who are realists, but we still agree on this bill."

"Innovation has come to the nuclear industry. There are many new companies, nuclear 'startups,' in fact, that are pursuing concepts that advance safety, security, and efficiency."

"Oversight is important. Do you think since that time we have slipped a little and need to become a bit more forceful in overseeing the NRC?"
