Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation (NRR)

The Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation (NRR) is a division within the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) responsible for overseeing the safety and regulation of commercial nuclear power plants. It develops technical standards, reviews safety protocols, and monitors plant performance to ensure reactors operate safely and reliably. NRR works with licensees to maintain high safety standards, investigates incidents, and implements regulations to protect public health and the environment from nuclear risks. Its goal is to ensure nuclear reactors operate securely throughout their lifespan, adhering to strict safety and security requirements.
