He also urges the electric utilities of Japan to look to more "efficient and effective" sources of electricity generation, rather than nuclear power, obviously -- in light of the ongoing Fukushima Daiichi nuclear catastrophe -- at risk of catastrophic failure.
Before becoming NRC's Chairman under President Obama in 2009, Jaczko had served as an NRC Commissioner from 2005 to 2009.
