Nuclear Regulatory Framework

The Nuclear Regulatory Framework encompasses laws, regulations, and guidelines designed to ensure the safe use of nuclear energy and materials. In countries like the United States, this framework is primarily managed by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC). It focuses on safety standards, environmental protection, and ensuring that nuclear facilities comply with federal regulations. The framework aims to protect public health, prevent accidents, and secure nuclear materials from misuse, all while promoting the responsible development of nuclear technology. By regulating the nuclear industry, it helps maintain safety and public trust in nuclear energy as a power source.
