Nuclear Regulation in the United States and a Possible Framework for an International Regulatory Approach
Abstract
Abstract: Effective regulation of nuclear power plants is a key element of reactor safety. It also enhances public trust in the licensing and operation of these facilities. Although significant efforts to improve and enhance nuclear regulation have been made, three major power reactor accidents and a series of incidents have occurred and suggest that changes in the regulatory process are warranted. Various regulatory options are presented and possible directions for the international regulation of nuclear power plants are outlined. Â
