Materials Safety Arena Activities
In considering which areas of the materials safety arena to target for greater use of risk information, the staff of the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) examined the sources of risk, the existing regulatory processes, and the best opportunities for improvements. On that basis, the staff divided the materials safety arena into two sub-arenas, each of which benefits from risk-informed and performance-based rulemaking, licensing, and oversight activities. See the following links for the current objective, basis, goals, and risk-informed and performance-based activities for each sub-arena:
- Fuel Cycle Sub-Arena
- Byproduct Materials Sub-Arena
- Rulemaking Function
- Licensing Function – No current activities
- Oversight Function – No current activities
