Public Affairs
Building and maintaining public trust is critical to carrying out NRC's
mission. To be an effective steward for nuclear safety, the public must
have confidence in NRC's regulatory actions. One of the ways that NRC
earns the public's trust is by disseminating information so that the public
can participate effectively in the regulatory process and can make informed
decisions about agency activities.
The Office of Public Affairs (OPA) provides the public and the
news media with clear, accurate, and complete information about our programs,
policy decisions, and activities, primarily by issuing news releases and
by distributing Commission speeches, fact sheets, and brochures. The office
follows news coverage of the agency and responds to media and public inquiries.
If you have questions or comments about the NRC, nuclear safety, or related
topics, please Contact a Public
Affairs Officer.
News and Information - links to current
and past news releases and other news-related resources, such as Commission
