一、美国核管会组织架构
NRC决策层为5人委员会,设有一名主席。但主席和另外四名委员拥有的权限是一样的。(2011年美国核管会以4:1批复AP1000标准设计文件时,当时投下唯一反对票的就是时任NRC主席的Greg Jaczko)

NRC下设若干部门(业务部门和职能部门),并按照分区监管的原则向各个核设施派驻现场监管代表。
NRC下属部门中设有专门的公众沟通部门,可见其对公众沟通的重视。

图2展示了NRC的五大职能:法规导则(制定),许可、退役和认证,监督,运行经验,决策支持。从该图可以看到,决策支持在NRC的重要作用,决策支持对其他四项活动给予了支持;而且NRC十分注重经验反馈,通过经验反馈来完善法规导则和改进监督。

二、美国核管会的发展战略
(此段落主要来自于NRC发布的2014-2018年战略)
(一)、KEY CHALLENGES重要挑战
During the upcoming planning period, the NRC will face new challenges as it continues to operate in a dynamic environment. Key factors the agency has considered in developing this plan include the following:
在即将来到的规划期,由于在动态环境下运营NRC将面临新挑战,当局在制定本规划时考虑的重要挑战如下:
-
Continued implementation of enhancements to improve nuclear safety based on insights arising from operating experience reviews and lessons learned from the 2011 nuclear accident at the Fukushima Dai-ichi nuclear facility in Japan;
-
在对2011年日本福岛第一核电厂核事故经验教训以及运营经验提升的监督基础上继续强化改善核安全;
-
Continual learning and adaptation of the regulatory framework to address knowledge of and response to the specific hazards, uncertainties, and risks associated with each nuclear site;
-
持续学习和改进监管框架以适应每一处核设施厂址特有危险、不确定性和风险的应对和有关知识。
-
Continued readiness to review applications involving new technologies such as small modular reactors, medical isotope production facilities, and rapidly evolving digital instrumentation and control systems;
-
继续准备以审查新技术申请,诸如小型模块式反应堆、医用同位素生产设施和快速发展的数字化仪表和控制系统等;
-
Changes in the demographics, experience, and knowledge of the workforce;
-
全体雇员的组成、经验和知识的改变;
-
Continued awareness of and support to the development of nuclear safety and security regulations around the world;
-
持续关注并支持全球核安全和安保监管的发展;
-
Changing economic conditions in the energy market affecting current and planned applications to construct and operate new nuclear facilities or decommission existing ones;
-
改善能源市场的经济条件从而影响当前和计划建造运营核设施或现有核设施退役的有关申请;
-
Globalization of nuclear technology and the nuclear supply chain, driving the need for increased international engagement on the safe and secure use of radioactive material and the need for new oversight approaches, including ensuring that foreign components used in U.S. nuclear facilities are in compliance with NRC requirements; and
-
核技术和核供应链的全球化,驱动了放射性材料的安全和保障使用的国际协议和新监管方法的需求,以使得美国核设施中应用的外国部件和NRC监管规则相适应;
-
Continuous monitoring of the threat environment to ensure the security of facilities and accountability controls for radioactive materials.
-
持续对威胁环境的监测以确保设施安保和放射性材料的可靠控制。
To meet these challenges, the NRC must use its resources effectively and efficiently, enhance the regulatory framework as appropriate to address existing or emerging issues, and deploy effective and innovative strategies for maintaining staff competence and readiness. Even as the NRC works to address these challenges, the agency’s mission and organizational values remain unchanged. The agency will remain a strong, independent, stable, and effective regulator that places the highest priority on ensuring the safety and security of the nuclear facilities and radioactive materials it regulates.
为了应对这些挑战,NRC必须高效实用自由,区划监管体系以适应已有或新出现的问题,部署有效和革新的战略以维持员工竞争力和准备程度。即使当NRC为适应这些挑战工作时,该机构的使命和组织价值观继续维持不变。该机构将继续成为一个强大、独立、稳定和有效的监管者,他们在监管时将确保核设施和放射性材料的安全和安保放在最高优先级。
(二)、美国核管会2014-2018年战略框架
根据NRC发布的2014-2018年战略,其框架如下:
图3:美国NRC战略框架
MISSION使命
The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission licenses and regulates the Nation’s civilian use of radioactive materials to protect public health and safety, promote the common defense and security, and protect the environment.
美国NRC对联邦内放射性材料进行许可和规管以保证公众健康和安全、促进公共防卫和安保,及保护环境。
VISION愿景
A trusted, independent, transparent, and effective nuclear regulator
一个值得信赖、独立、透明并且高效的核监管者
To be successful, the NRC must not only excel in carrying out its mission, but must do so in a manner that engenders the trust of the public and stakeholders. This vision is an outgrowth of the NRC operating in a manner consistent with its longstanding Principles of Good Regulation—independence, openness, efficiency, clarity, and reliability—and its organizational values (see box). These principles guide the agency—from how the NRC reaches decisions on safety, security, and environmental issues; to how the NRC performs administrative tasks; to how its employees interact with their fellow employees and other stakeholders.
为了成功做到这一点,NRC不仅需要在执行他的使命时要做到卓越,而且必须按照公众和利益干系人信任的方式开展。这一愿景是NRC坚持负荷其良好监管长期原则相一致的规则运营——独立、开放、高效、清晰,且可信赖——以及其组织价值观(如下框所示),而这些原则帮助机构做决策——从如何使得NRC做出安全、安保和环境问题的决策;到NRC如何执行综合任务、如何使得他们的雇员和雇员、雇员和其它利益干系人等沟通等。
By adhering to these principles and values, the NRC maintains its regulatory competence, conveys that competence to stakeholders, and promotes trust in the agency.
坚持这些原则和价值观,NRC维持其监管能力,向利益干系人阐述能力并促进机构内的(相互)信任。

三、博主评论
1、NRC作为一个使用公共预算财政的联邦政府部门,及时分析阶段性关键问题,及时制定并向社会公众发布其战略规划有助于公众对其工作的了解,建议国内有关部门考虑编制和发布类似的发展战略和规划;
2、NRC强大的决策支持团队为其独立监管和执法工作提供了强有力的支撑,他所具备的能力使得其有能力对核电堆型进行标准设计审查、对重大共性问题进行研究解决。相比而言,国内核安全监管能力和队伍建设还有一定差距,需要进一步加强。
3、NRC将核安全和核安保作为核心战略目标进行管理;但我国核安全和核安保分属两个部门管理(核安全局和国防科工局管理),需要进一步研究如何推进协同管理;
4、NRC十分重视透明、开放的工作原则,成立了相应的机构对此进行管理,值得国内监管机构借鉴。
