주 입법부를 위한 원자력 규제 개요(Overview of Nuclear Regulation for State Legislatures)
본 보고서는 미국 원자력 규제 위원회(NRC)으 관련 규제에 대해 설명하고 있습니다.
The regulation of the civil nuclear energy industry in the U.S. is distinct from how much of the rest of the energy sector is regulated due to the unique nature of nuclear power. The commercial nuclear industry is relatively small—there are currently fewer than 100 commercial nuclear reactors operating in the U.S. to generate electricity. The nature of nuclear power also requires specialized knowledge and expertise to effectively oversee the safe operation and disposition of these facilities and their waste. For these reasons, the nuclear industry is heavily regulated under a more centralized, federal approach through the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC).
