Our Mission To license and regulate the nations civilian use of byproduct, source, and special nuclear materials to ensure adequate protection of public health and safety, promote the common defense and security, and protect the environment.
 
Some Nuclear Facts More than 100 nuclear power plants supply about 20 percent of the electricity in the U.S.
Nuclear materials are used in medicine for cancer treatment and diagnosis.
Nuclear materials are widely used in industry, such as in density gauges, flow measurement devices, radiography devices, and irradiators.
 
The NRC Regulates:
Nuclear reactors - commercial power reactors, research and test reactors, new reactor designs; Nuclear materials - nuclear reactor fuel, radioactive materials for medical, industrial and academic use; Nuclear waste - transportation, storage and disposal of nuclear material and waste, decommissioning of nuclear facilities; and Nuclear security - physical security of nuclear facilities and materials from sabotage or attacks.
 
What we dont do:
Regulate nuclear weapons, military reactors or space vehicle reactors Own or operate nuclear power plants.
Regulate some radioactive materials, such as naturally occurring radon and X-rays.
 
How We Regulate Establish rules and regulations Issue licenses Provide oversight through inspection, enforcement, and evaluation of operational experience Conduct research to support regulatory decisions Respond to events and emergencies
 
Assurance of Plant Safety
* Require defense-in-depth
* Require long-term maintenance of equipment
* Require continual training of operators
* Verify compliance with regulations
 
What We Do - Nuclear Waste The NRC regulates:
* Storage of spent reactor fuel in fuel pools or dry storage casks, and
* A national spent fuel storage siteYucca Mountain
 
What We Do - Nuclear Security NRC requires:
          *Well-armed and well-trained security forces;
          *Surveillance and perimeter patrols;
          *State-of-the-art site access equipment and controls;

Our Mission To license and regulate the nations civilian use of byproduct, source, and special nuclear materials to ensure adequate protection of public health and safety, promote the common defense and security, and protect the environment.

Some Nuclear Facts More than 100 nuclear power plants supply about 20 percent of the electricity in the U.S.

Nuclear materials are used in medicine for cancer treatment and diagnosis.

Nuclear materials are widely used in industry, such as in density gauges, flow measurement devices, radiography devices, and irradiators.

The NRC Regulates:

What we dont do:

Regulate nuclear weapons, military reactors or space vehicle reactors Own or operate nuclear power plants.

Regulate some radioactive materials, such as naturally occurring radon and X-rays.

  • State-of-the-art site access equipment and controls;
  • Physical barriers and detection zones; and
  • Intrusion detection systems and alarm stations

NRC Performance Goals

  • Safety: Ensure adequate protection of public health and safety and the environment.
  • Security: Ensure adequate protection in the secure use and management of radioactive materials.
