NRC Mission 4
The NRCs mission is to ensure safety, and to be protective of public health and the environment The NRC regulates and inspects the site until the site has been radiologically decommissioned and the license is terminated After the reactor site completes decommissioning, the NRC will continue to regulate and inspect the spent fuel storage facility until the fuel is removed and storage facility is decommissioned

- Includes all exposure pathways (e.g. drinking water, land use, soil, etc.)
- Residual radioactivity levels that are as low as reasonably achievable, or ALARA 6
= 25 mrem +
