The RIC offers participants a forum that promotes open dialogue to learn valuable information about NRC actions planned or in progress related to the regulation of nuclear power plants, other nuclear facilities, and nuclear safety research. In addition, the RIC continues to offer an environment to interact with nuclear industry leaders and share ideas, perspectives, and experiences on matters related to nuclear safety and regulation.
