NRC Actions in Response to Covid-19 Accomplished both onsite and remote oversight activities during the ongoing public health emergency, while taking precautions to minimize exposure to COVID-19 Some inspections were conducted remotely at plants given the enhanced ability to do remote inspection in combination with targeted on-site inspection aspects As conditions have improved, we have increased our on-site inspection presence The Agency maintained emergency response capabilities within Regional Incident Response Centers and HQ 10

Actions in Response to Covid-19 11
