Note: On October 17, 2016, the Board voted (notational vote #2017-300-003) to change the name of its on-site staff at the Department of Energy’s defense nuclear facilities to resident inspectors. Formerly known as site representatives, the new nomenclature more closely aligns the Board’s enabling statute (42 U.S.C., sec. 2286 et seq). There are no new authorities or responsibilities associated with the name change.
