The RIC supports this mission and is a unique forum hosted by the NRC, that brings together diverse groups of stakeholders to learn, share and discuss information on significant and timely nuclear regulatory activities and emergent issues. It is a communication vehicle that fosters informal, open dialogue between the public and the NRC staff, and supports the NRC's strategic objective to ensure openness and transparency.
The RIC offers an environment in which NRC staff and stakeholders share relevant information, exchange views and perspectives, and raise concerns about the important safety, security, and policy issues before the agency. As we continue to learn from recent events and natural disasters, this forum is crucial to the mission of the agency.
The 2018 RIC featured 3 plenary sessions and 34 technical sessions, with 163 panelists without session chairs and 206 with session chairs. The conference drew 2291 attendees, including 227 international participants from 33 countries.
