  4. Subdivisions • Office of small Business and civil rights. • Public meeting and involvements • Nuclear security • Federal and States

  5. Regional Offices… Each Regional Administrator executes established NRC policies and assigned programs relating to inspection, and enforcement.

  6. Main Issue • The NRC main issue is the regulation of how civilian commercial, industrial, academic, and medical uses of nuclear materials in order to protect the public health and safety and promote the common defense and security.

  7. Number of board members There are approximately 46 board members

  8. Responsibilities • (1) Safety – Ensure adequate protection of public health and safety and the environment. • (2) Security – Ensure adequate protection in the secure use and management of radioactive materials. • Evaluate if nuclear power plant emergency plans are adequate to protect public health and safety. • Evaluate if nuclear power plant emergency plans can be used by emergency response personnel and ensure the plans provide for sufficient resources and equipment during an emergency. • Review FEMA evaluations of offsite emergency preparedness. • Make decisions on the overall state of emergency preparedness, such as issuing of nuclear power plant operating licenses or taking enforcement actions (e.g., violations, civil penalties, orders, or shutdown of operating reactors). • Recognize FEMA as the federal interface with State and local governments with regard to emergency preparedness for nuclear power plants. NRC provides assistance in offsite preparedness through its membership on the Regional Assistance Committees (RAC), which is coordinated by FEMA.

  9. Closest office to Va. Beach • The Region I Office in King of Prussia, Pennsylvania, oversees our regulatory activities in the northeastern United States.
