SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

The NRC views nuclear regulation as 

the public’s business and, as such, 

believes it should be transacted as 

openly and candidly as possible to 

maintain and enhance the public’s 

confidence in the regulatory process. 

Ensuring appropriate openness 

explicitly recognizes that the public 

must be informed about, and have a 

reasonable opportunity to participate 

meaningfully in the NRC’s regulatory 

processes. At the same time, the NRC 

must also control sensitive information 

so that security goals are met. This 

vision is described in the NRC’s 

Strategic Plan for Fiscal Years 2008–
