On second try, Senate committee approves Baran for five more years at NRC

摘要

Jeffrey Baran’s nomination for another term on the Nuclear Regulatory Commission was before the full Senate Thursday after a committee this week approved his nomination in a razor-thin party-line vote. In a Wednesday business meeting, the Democrat-controlled committee approved Baran’s nomination 10-9. Though the nomination was placed on the Senate executive calendar on Thursday, the Senate had not scheduled a floor vote on the nomination as of deadline Friday for RadWaste Monitor.
