How do the guidelines in this document differ from the NRCs guidelines for external risk communication?
Risk communication principles remain the same, regardless of whether they are applied within an organization or to an organization’s interactions with stakeholders. Thus, these internal guidelines apply risk communication principles to communication within the NRC, and are tailored to suit the needs of NRC management and staff. These applications differ from the NRC’s guidelines for external risk communication in that risk communication with external stakeholders has a wider array of audiences and requires significant flexibility to achieve a shared understanding.
