Abstract

The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) 2008–2009 Information Digest provides a summary of information about the NRC. It describes the agency’s regulatory responsibilities and licensing activities and also provides general information on nuclear energy.

To create the Information Digest, the agency compiled and organized NRC and industry-related data into a quick reference on the agency and the industry it regulates. Data include activities through 2007 or the most current data available at manuscript completion. (In this edition, adjustments were made to figures previously based on preliminary data. All information is final unless otherwise noted.)

The NRC reviewed information from industry sources but did not perform an independent verification.

Also in this edition, some changes reflect the data-driven characteristics of the digest. They include the following: development of a new section titled “Security and Emergency Preparedness” to reflect our mission and strategic plan goals, development of an NRC Web Link Index of URL addresses that lead to more information on major topics, and creation of a tear-out reference sheet called NRC Facts at a Glance.

The agency welcomes comments or suggestions on the Information Digest. Please contact Ivonne Couret, Office of Public Affairs, U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Washington, DC 20555-0001.
