NRC

NRC stands for the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, an independent U.S. government agency responsible for overseeing the safety, security, and licensing of civilian nuclear facilities and materials. It ensures that nuclear power plants and other related activities operate safely, protect public health, and minimize environmental impact. The NRC develops regulations, conducts inspections, and enforces standards to prevent accidents and manage nuclear risks. Its role is essential in balancing the use of nuclear technology for energy and other purposes while maintaining strict safety protocols to protect people and the environment.
