The Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is the independent commission that regulates the safety of civilian nuclear power — reactors, fuel, and radioactive materials. It handles reactor licensing, safety standards, and inspections and corrective orders.
Recent issues include licensing for next-generation and small modular reactors (SMRs) and revisiting foreign-ownership rules (under the ADVANCE Act). It is an agency where the balance between safety and promotion is perennially in question.
