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
