nuclear regulations

Nuclear regulations are laws and safety standards that oversee the use of nuclear technology, ensuring it is managed responsibly. They require careful handling of radioactive materials, strict safety protocols, regular inspections, and emergency preparedness. These regulations aim to protect workers, the public, and the environment from radiation risks, while promoting safe energy production and medical uses. Regulatory agencies, such as the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) in the U.S., enforce compliance through licensing and oversight, maintaining high safety standards to prevent accidents and ensure transparency in nuclear activities.
