What should workers do to report nuclear safety concerns to the NRC?

To report nuclear safety concerns to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC), filling out NRC form 3 and calling the appropriate number is the correct procedure. This method ensures that the report is documented in a standardized format recognized by the NRC, which facilitates effective communication of the safety concern. The form is specifically designed to capture all necessary information required for the NRC to evaluate the situation thoroughly.

Using the designated phone number enables direct communication with NRC representatives who can provide guidance and assistance regarding the reported concern. This approach ensures that the report is not only officially recorded but also allows for immediate follow-up if necessary. It is essential that safety concerns, particularly in nuclear settings, are reported through the proper channels to ensure they are addressed promptly and adequately, protecting both worker safety and the integrity of nuclear operations.
