Table Given NRC Performance Award

(Rockville, MD) — A table located in the Nuclear Regulatory Commission's Public Document Room (NRC/PDR) has been given one of the agency's performance awards, the first time a piece of furniture has been so recognized.

A commemorative plaque with the following words will be installed on the tabletop later this year:
