Safety Culture and Nuclear Materials
Establishing and maintaining a positive safety culture directly contributes to the safe and secure use of radioactive materials. Licensees and other users of regulated material are primarily responsible to ensure that these materials are used safely and securely. Because weaknesses in safety culture or a deteriorating safety culture appear to increase the likelihood of performance problems and the consequences of those problems, the NRC encourages licensees to maintain a positive safety culture.
