• Tolicenseandregulate

• To license and regulate the nation's civilian use of byproduct, source, and special nuclear materials to ensureadequate ensure adequate protection of public

health and safety, promotethecommon promote the common defense and security, and protect the 5 environment.

Some Nuclear Facts

• 104nuclearpowerplants

• 104 nuclear power plants supply about 20 percent of the electricity in the U.S.*Nuclear materials are used in medicine for diagnosis

and cancer treatment.*Nuclear materials are widely used in industry, suchasindensitygauges such as in density gauges , flow measurement devices, radiography devices, and

irradiators.
