Public Meetings

The NRC considers public involvement to be a cornerstone of strong, fair regulation of the nuclear industry. We recognize the public's interest in the proper regulation of nuclear activities and the importance of providing opportunities for citizens to be heard. Details of past public meetings on the NRC’s Fusion Machines rulemaking can be found below.
