Operator Licensing for New Reactors
What We Regulate
The NRC licenses all individuals who either operate or supervise the
operation of the controls of a commercially owned nuclear power reactor
or a test/research (i.e., non-power) reactor in the United States. Although
the regulations in this area generally apply to both power and research
and test reactors, this site focuses primarily on the operator licensing
activities at new power reactor facilities.
How We Regulate
NRC regulates the licensing of reactor operators and senior operators
through a combination of regulatory requirements: initial licensing, including
written examinations and operating tests; oversight of requalification
training and examination programs, including enforcement. For more detail,
see the following.
