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 2019 RIC featured 6 plenary sessions and 38 technical sessions, with 203 panelists including 41 session chairs. The conference drew 2295 attendees, including 188 international participants from 33 countries.
