"Do you support the idea of moving ahead with small nuclear reactors?"

"I will be asking you about what you intend to do about that; what your manner and attitude will be in terms of leadership."

"I too believe it is important for our country to have a full complement of members of the Nuclear Regulatory Commission."

"I will look forward to a private discussion with Senator Sanders, and I would love to present him with the National Academy of Sciences study that shows just the reverse."
