ResponsibilitiesThe Office of Nuclear Material Safety and Safeguards has overall responsibility for NRC's materials program and NRC's Regional Offices (Region I - Northeast, Region II - Southeast, Region III - Midwest, and Region IV - West/Southwest) implement these programs in the states for which they are responsible. Materials regulation is also supported by a Nuclear Materials Safety Research program and by independent advice from the Advisory Committee on the Medical Uses of Isotopes. The NRC ensures its materials program complies with the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) by conducting NEPA reviews for all major actions within the program. See the Materials Environmental Reviews page for detailed information on active reviews. Of the over 20,000 active source, byproduct, and special nuclear materials licenses in place in the United States, about a quarter are administered by NRC; the rest are administered by the 35 Agreement states.
