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 100 nuclear power plants 100 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.

6

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

  • Regulate some radioactive materials
  • Regulate some radioactive materials, such as X-rays and naturally occurring radon 8

occurring radon

How We Regulate g

  • Establish rules and regulations
  • Establish rules and regulations
  • Issue licenses P

id i ht th h i ti

  • Provide oversight through inspection, enforcement, and evaluation of operational experience operational experience
  • Conduct research to provide support for regulatory decisions for regulatory decisions
  • Respond to events and emergencies 9

Assurance of Plant Safety R

What We Do - Nuclear Waste

  • The NRC regulates:
  • The NRC regulates:

- Storage of spent reactor fuel in fuel pools or dry storage casks, and

- Any national spent fuel storage site.

11

What We Do - Nuclear Security

  • NRC Requires:
  • NRC Requires:
