Review of Doe’s Nuclear Energy Research and Development Program
Encourage objectivity by recognizing that knowledgeable persons have different points of view and that balance is therefore best achieved by diversifying the membership of the oversight body.
Avoid conflicts of interest by requiring public disclosure of members’ connections with study sponsors or organizations likely to be affected by study results. Persons directly funded by sponsors are rarely appointed to such bodies.
Ensure transparency by requiring that both the statement of task and the final report for each project are routinely made public in a timely fashion.
