What does the NRC do?
The Nuclear Regulatory Commission licenses and regulates civilian use of nuclear energy to protect public health and safety and the environment.
Who funds the NRC?
2. Does the NRC get all of its funding from the fees that it charges? No, we receive all of our funding from Congress. As required by law, we then collect approximately 90\% of our budget from the fees that we charge over the course of the year, and that money is given back to the U.S. Treasury.
What is the NRC government grant?
NRC only awards grants directly to accredited U.S. institutions of higher education and does not award individual scholarships or fellowships. Consequently, NRC requires scholarship and fellowship recipients to serve 6 months in nuclear-related employment for each full or partial year of academic support.
When should you report to the NRC?
The Corporation shall notify the NRC Operations Center as soon as possible but not later than 4 hours after discovery of an event1 that prevents immediate protective actions necessary to avoid releases or exposures to radiation or radioactive materials that could exceed regulatory limits.

When did NRC started?
NRC for Indian citizens in Assam was first created in 1951. Manipur and Tripura were also granted permission to create their own NRCs, but it never materialised. The reason behind the move was to identify Indian citizens in Assam amid “unabated” migration from East Pakistan (now Bangladesh).
