Our Mission
* License and regulate:
- Civilian Reactors
- Radioactive Materials (e.g.
medical and industrial)
- Byproducts
* Protect public health and safety
* Promote the common defense and security
* Protect the environment.
 
6 6
Some Nuclear Facts
* 104 US nuclear power plants (20% of total generation)
* Nuclear materials widely used in medicine (e.g. cancer treatment).
* Nuclear materials are widely used in industry (e.g. density gauges and irradiators).
 
7 7
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
* Nuclear security - physical security of nuclear facilities and materials from sabotage or attacks
 
8 8
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 X-rays and naturally occurring radon
 
9 9
How We Regulate
* Establish rules and regulations
* Issue licenses
* Provide oversight (inspection and enforcement)
* Conduct research
* Respond to events and emergencies
 
10 10 Assurance of Plant Safety
* Require defense-in-depth
* Require long-term maintenance of equipment
* Require continual training of operators
* Verify compliance with regulations
 
11 11 NRC Nuclear Security Requirements
- Armed security forces
- Surveillance and perimeter patrols
- State-of-the-art site access equipment and controls
- Physical barriers and detection zones
- Intrusion detection systems and alarm stations.
 
12 12 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.

Our Mission

  • License and regulate:

- Civilian Reactors

- Radioactive Materials (e.g.

medical and industrial)

- Byproducts

  • Protect public health and safety
  • Promote the common defense and security
  • Protect the environment.

6 6

Some Nuclear Facts

  • 104 US nuclear power plants (20% of total generation)
  • Nuclear materials widely used in medicine (e.g. cancer treatment).
  • Nuclear materials are widely used in industry (e.g. density gauges and irradiators).

7 7

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
  • Nuclear security - physical security of nuclear facilities and materials from sabotage or attacks

8 8

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 X-rays and naturally occurring radon

9 9

How We Regulate

  • Establish rules and regulations
  • Issue licenses
  • Provide oversight (inspection and enforcement)
  • Conduct research
  • Respond to events and emergencies

10 10 Assurance of Plant Safety

  • Require defense-in-depth
  • Require long-term maintenance of equipment
  • Require continual training of operators
  • Verify compliance with regulations

11 11 NRC Nuclear Security Requirements

- Armed security forces

- Surveillance and perimeter patrols

- State-of-the-art site access equipment and controls

- Physical barriers and detection zones

- Intrusion detection systems and alarm stations.

12 12 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.
