Title 42 › CHAPTER 73 — DEVELOPMENT OF ENERGY SOURCES › SUBCHAPTER II — NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION; NUCLEAR WHISTLEBLOWER PROTECTION › § 5849
The Commission must appoint an Executive Director for Operations who serves at the Commission’s pleasure and can be removed by the Commission. The Executive Director must carry out duties the Commission gives. Directors of component organizations still may report or talk directly to the Commission when needed, but they must keep the Executive Director completely and promptly informed about what they told the Commission. The Executive Director must report at public meetings twice a year on equal employment efforts and must prepare an annual report (starting with fiscal year 1978) on domestic safeguards and how well licensed facilities are protected. The Commission must send that report to Congress before February 1, 1979, and before February 1 each year after that as a separate chapter of its annual report under section 5877(c). The Commission may also appoint up to five additional career officers, subject to section 2201(d).
