Responding to the allegations against NRC Chairman Jaczko, Rep. Ed Whitfield (R-Ky.) sent a letter to President Obama yesterday calling for his immediate removal. “I am very concerned that a bipartisan group of Commissioners have contacted your office with specific examples of intimidation, bullying and withholding of information by Chairman Jaczko. To my knowledge, in spite of these serious concerns having been raised some months ago, the White House has done nothing to remedy the situation, except to announce a third party review,” wrote Whitfield, who chairs the House Energy and Commerce subcommittee that oversees the NRC. He added, “Because of the great seriousness of this matter and the urgent need to reinstate trust in the NRC’s ability to regulate our nuclear industry, I request that you move immediately to replace Mr. Jaczko as Chairman.”
