Abstract
The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) provides this annual report to summarize the results of its security oversight program for the Nation’s fleet of commercial nuclear power plants (NPPs) and Category I (CAT I) fuel cycle facilities, given the significance of the nature, form, and quantities of nuclear material at these facilities. This report presents the combined security inspection results for calendar year 2025, including inspections at operating and decommissioning NPPs, plants preparing for restart, and CAT I fuel cycle facilities. It describes how the NRC evaluates licensee performance through the Reactor Oversight Process, the security inspection programs for NPPs and CAT I facilities, and the force-on-force inspection program.
This report fulfills the requirements of section 170D.e of the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended (42 U.S.C. §2210 d.(e)), which requires the NRC to provide the Committee on Environment and Public Works of the Senate and the Committee on Energy and Commerce of the House of Representatives a report, in classified form and unclassified form, that describes the results of each security response evaluation conducted and any relevant corrective action taken by a licensee during the previous year. The NRC also exercises its authority under section 170D.a (42 U.S.C. §2210 d.(a)) to determine the licensed facilities subject to these evaluations.
