Nuclear Regulator

A nuclear regulator is an organization responsible for overseeing the safe and secure use of nuclear energy and radioactive materials. They create and enforce rules, inspect facilities, and ensure that nuclear activities comply with safety standards to protect people, the environment, and public health. Their role includes licensing nuclear facilities, monitoring operations, investigating incidents, and promoting safety practices. Essentially, they act as guardians who ensure that nuclear technology is used responsibly and safely, preventing accidents or malicious misuse, much like a regulatory body for other critical industries.
