Nuclear regulatory organizations

Nuclear regulatory organizations are government agencies responsible for overseeing the safety and security of nuclear energy and related activities. They establish rules, inspect facilities, and ensure that nuclear power plants, research reactors, and waste management practices operate safely to protect people and the environment. These agencies also monitor for potential risks, enforce compliance, and respond to incidents. Their primary goal is to prevent accidents, promote safe use of nuclear technology, and maintain public confidence in nuclear systems. Examples include the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) and the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA).
