A bill to include the Department of Energy and the Nuclear Regulatory Commission as employers for the purposes of whistleblower protection.

Amends the Energy Reorganization Act of 1974 to grant whistleblower protections to employees of the Nuclear Regulatory Commission and the Department of Energy.

Authorizes a civil action for Federal court determination de novo of a complaint alleging discrimination in violation of such protections if the Secretary of Labor does not: (1) issue a final decision within 180 days after the filing of the complaint; and (2) the Secretary does not show that the delay is caused by the bad faith of the claimant.
