Description (excerpt):
The nuclear energy industry and the independent Nuclear Regulatory Commission hold safety of the public, plant employees and the environment as their top priority. The NRC’s mission includes establishing and enforcing regulations for the safe operation of nuclear energy facilities. Over the years, the amount of regulatory activity and industry-driven requirements has increased, requiring nuclear power plant operators to devote more resources to compliance efforts, some of which do little to enhance safety.
