42 U.S.C. § 9701 (THE PUBLIC HEALTH AND WELFARE)
§ 9701. Congressional findings and declaration of policy
(a) The Congress finds that—
(1) nuclear energy is one of the two major energy sources available for electric energy production in the United States during the balance of the twentieth century;
(2) continued development of nuclear power is dependent upon maintaining an extremely high level of safety in the operation of nuclear plants, and on public recognition that these facilities do not constitute a significant threat to human health or safety;
(3) it is the responsibility of utilities, as owners and operators of nuclear powerplants, to assure that such plants are designed and operated safely and reliably; and
(4) a proper role of the Federal Government in assuring nuclear powerplant safety, in addition to its regulatory function, is the conduct of a research, development, and demonstration program to provide important scientific and technical information which can contribute to sound design and safe operation of these plants.
(b) It is declared to be the policy of the United States and the purpose of this chapter to establish a research, development, and demonstration program for developing practical improvements in the generic safety of nuclear powerplants during the next five years, beginning in the fiscal year 1981. The objectives of such program shall be—
(1) to reduce the likelihood and severity of potentially serious nuclear powerplant accidents; and
(2) to reduce the likelihood of disrupting the population in the vicinity of nuclear powerplants as the result of nuclear powerplant accidents.
Nothing in this chapter shall be construed as preventing the Secretary from undertaking projects or activities, in addition to those specified in this chapter, which appropriately further the purpose and objectives set forth in this subsection. Nothing in this chapter shall authorize the Secretary to assume responsibility for the management, cleanup or repair of any commercial nuclear powerplant. Nothing in this chapter shall be construed as limiting the authority of the Secretary under any other law.

42 U.S.C. § 9704 (THE PUBLIC HEALTH AND WELFARE)
§ 9704. National reactor engineering simulator feasibility study
(a) Consultative requirements; purpose
The Secretary, in consultation with the Commission and the Advisory Committee, shall initiate a study of the need for and feasibility of establishing a reactor engineering simulator facility at a national laboratory, for the primary purpose of fostering research in generic design improvements and simplifications through the simulation of the performance of various types of light water reactors under a wide variety of abnormal conditions and postulated accident conditions.
(b) Applicability of relevant factors
In performing the study, the Secretary shall consider relevant factors including, but not limited to—
(1) the potential advantages that would accrue from the establishment of such a facility;
(2) the extent to which such a facility would further the generic safety research and development program established by this chapter;
(3) the extent to which such a facility can be established by nongovernmental entities;
(4) the opportunities for cost sharing by nongovernmental entities in the construction and operation of such a facility;
(5) the importance of such a facility in emergencies to limit the extent of any future nuclear powerplant excursions;
(6) the potential for international cooperation in the establishment and operation of such a facility; and
(7) the appropriate national laboratory for siting such a facility.
(c) Report to Congressional committees
The Secretary shall, by January 1, 1982, submit to the Committee on Science and Technology of the House of Representatives and the Committee on Energy and Natural Resources of the Senate a report characterizing the study and the resulting conclusions and recommendations.

§ 9705. Federal Nuclear Operations Corps’ study
(a) Cooperation and coordination requirements; purpose
The Secretary, in cooperation with the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, shall initiate a study as to the sufficiency of efforts in the United States to provide specially trained professionals to operate the controls of nuclear powerplants and other facilities in the back-end of the nuclear fuel cycle. In carrying out the study, the Secretary shall coordinate his activities with the ongoing programs of the utility industry and other Federal governmental agencies for obtaining high standards of operator performance.
(b) Assessments
(1) In conducting the study the Secretary shall assess the desirability and feasibility of creating a Federal Corps of such professionals to inspect and supervise such operations.
(2) The assessment shall consider the establishment of an academy to train Corps professionals in all aspects of nuclear technology, nuclear operations, nuclear regulatory and related law, and health science.
