Shepard joined the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) when it was first created in 1975. A renovation was done in 2021 to one of the NRC buildings. In honor of his extensive work both inside and outside of the NRC, a Mural of Shepard was placed on a wall in the entryway to the newly renovated multipurpose/cafeteria space in the Headquarter's building on Rockville Pike in Rockville, Maryland.  Having resigned from the NRC in 1990, which was over 30 years ago, this was an honor Shepard did not see coming. He was stunned to see that the Mural incorporated his life's motto, "It's more productive to focus on your capabilities than on your limitations." ​​
