    The next regulation was devised under pressure from financial servicing organizations that led to congress passing the Financial Services Modernization Act, commonly known as the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (GLBA) in 1999 that allowed organizations such as banks to operate in the security and insurance underwriting sectors (Crawford, 2011; Mamun, Hassan, & Maroney, 2005). The passing of act allowed the banking, securities, and insurance companies the ability to enter or merge with other financial servicing businesses after decades of prohibition due to previous passed federal laws such as the Glass-Steagall Act of 1933 (Kim & Wagman, 2015; Yeager, Yeager, & Harshman, 2007).

    Due to the increasing demand for energy in the United States, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission is currently reviewing permit applications for 26 new nuclear power reactors. However, the previous generation of U.S. civilian nuclear plant construction experienced significant cost and schedule overruns. Previous research identified 'regulatory ratcheting' (continuous, retroactive change in nuclear plant regulations) as one of the primary causes of this poor performance. Regulatory ratcheting was enabled by the nuclear industry's two-step permitting and licensing process for civilian power plant construction, which allowed society's perception of the risks associated with nuclear plant operation to impact nuclear plant construction. How will public policy and societal risk perception affect the next generation of U.S. civilian nuclear plant construction?…
