ms. korsnick, you spent a lot of your testimony addressing this issue.have a reaction to what the gentleman's it testified to my question? >> yeah, i think i included in my testimony, in fact that when we looked at the peer agencies to the nuclear regulatory commission, they appear to be effective with the corporate support level even less than 28%. the other thing that we're interested in in the fee structure is the way that the current bill is structured. it not only asks for the nrc to allocate for certain licensee requests but the money needs to be spent on that and that alone whereas right now there's the ability to move money around, if you will, in fact, move it to corporate support. and we would like a stronger fiscal responsibility on that. >> thank you. dr. back, you mentioned safety, less waste, cost competitiveness and reducing a proliferation risk as your four corners of developing an advanced reactor. what i think i'm hearing is the nrc would get in on the front end, maybe raise red flags in the beginning of the licensing procedure rather t

ms. korsnick, nrc remaining a strong, credible regulator is essential and we are committed to our efficiency principle of regulation and are making strides to become more efficient in this important area. again, the most important thing we do is assure the safety and security of the operating nuclear power plants and the materials license holders. but within that, i alluded to the three pronged strategy earlier, the multipart strategy. i believe that is in perfect alignment. the nrc needs to make the reviews of advanced nonlight water reactors more effective, more clear and predictable. we're committed to build that framework to have it in place by 2019 so if, and, or when an application is submitted for the reactors that we can conduct those reviews in a timely, efficient and effective manner. we're on path to do that including conducting additional outreach with folks at this table as well as other stakeholders both domestically and internationally to make sure we're ready. >> all right, thanks. thank you very much, commander. mr. merrifield? >> i think -- [ inaudible ]. i think there's a
