The US Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is an independent agency of the US federal government that is responsible for regulating the use of nuclear materials in the United States. The NRC’s primary role is to ensure the safe and secure use of nuclear materials, including the operation of nuclear power plants, the transport of nuclear materials, and the disposal of nuclear waste. The NRC sets and enforces safety and security standards for these activities, and it conducts inspections and investigations to ensure that these standards are being followed. The NRC also provides information to the public about nuclear safety and regulation, and it works with other agencies and organizations to promote the safe and responsible use of nuclear materials.
