Our Mission

  • To license and regulate
  • To license and regulate the nations civilian use of byproduct, source, and special nuclear materials to ensure adequate ensure adequate protection of public health and safety, promote the common promote the common defense and security, and protect the 5

environment.

Some Nuclear Facts 104 nuclear power plants 104 nuclear power plants supply about 20 percent of the electricity in the U.S.

Nuclear materials are used in medicine for diagnosis and cancer treatment.

Nuclear materials are widely used in industry, such as in density gauges such as in density gauges, flow measurement devices, radiography devices, and irradiators.

The NRC Regulates g

  • Nuclear reactors - commercial power reactors Nuclear reactors - commercial power reactors, research and test reactors, new reactor designs
  • Nuclear materials nuclear reactor fuel radioactive
  • Nuclear materials - nuclear reactor fuel, radioactive materials for medical, industrial, and academic use Nuclear waste transportation storage and
  • Nuclear waste - transportation, storage and disposal of nuclear material and waste, decommissioning of nuclear facilities
  • Nuclear security - physical security of nuclear facilities and materials from sabotage or attacks 7

What We Dont Do R
