Nuclear Regulatory Authority

With nuclear regulatory authority or mostly short Nuclear monitoring, inspection and certification bodies for civilian nuclear facilities at national and international level are called.

history

In the 1960s there was a nuclear power euphoria in many industrialized countries. By about 1975 anti-nuclear movements arose in many countries. Many called for nuclear supervision to be separated from other authorities whose activities tended to promote nuclear power. This happened gradually:

• In 1975 the USA founded the NRC ( Nuclear Regulatory Commission ); she took over tasks that the United States Atomic Energy Commission had previously performed.
• France founded the ASN ( Autorité de sûreté nucléaire )
• the United Kingdom separated Mission Control , which is responsible for inspecting nuclear facilities, from the United Kingdom Atomic Energy Authority .

Germany

In Germany , the term is used to designate the regulatory and licensing authorities under nuclear law , which, like the financial administrations, are located in the federal states , while the federal government is responsible for legislative competence in nuclear law .

The German nuclear supervisory authorities are usually assigned to the relevant Ministry of the Environment and supervise the safety of all relevant areas of the nuclear facilities in the respective federal state and approve all essential safety-related changes. The establishment of the nuclear supervisory authorities in the federal states was one of the foundations for the dispute over the Federal Council's obligation to consent to the extension of the service life of German nuclear power plants in 2010 by the federal government . In other countries such as Great Britain or Switzerland , the nuclear regulator is a federal authority, unlike in Germany.

Instruments for continuous control are remote monitoring systems, especially those of nuclear reactors , as well as measuring and monitoring systems for radioactivity in the environment.
