Nuclear Regulation Authority (NRA, Japan)

The Nuclear Regulation Authority (NRA) in Japan is an independent government agency responsible for overseeing the safety of nuclear power plants and radiation facilities. Its role is to establish safety standards, monitor compliance, and ensure that nuclear operations do not pose risks to public health or the environment. The NRA conducts inspections, reviews safety measures, and responds to incidents or concerns related to nuclear activities. Established after the Fukushima accident in 2012, its goal is to prevent accidents and promote the responsible use of nuclear technology through rigorous regulation and oversight.
