Nuclear Regulatory Commission Chairman Gregory Jaczko acknowledged Wednesday that it could be a while before he steps down as head of the agency, despite announcing plans to resign this week.
And he declined to outright dismiss the possibility that he could be re-nominated to a second term as chairman if his successor is not confirmed by next year.
Right now my focus is on nuclear safety and I have been privileged and honored to serve in this position, and right now I intend to continue to serve out my term, Jaczko said at a press conference in Charlotte, N.C., the chairmans first public appearance since announcing his plan to step down.
If by that time, a successor has not been found, then Ill deal with those issues at that time. ...
