The Office of Public Affairs (OPA) assists the Chairman in carrying out his responsibilities as principal spokesperson for the NRC. OPA manages and directs the agency's public affairs program, providing advice to agency officials and developing key strategies that contribute to increasing public confidence. This includes keeping top management informed of public interest in and news coverage of NRC's regulatory activities as well as providing timely, clear, and accurate information on NRC activities to the public and the media through news releases, fact sheets, brochures, interviews, Web postings, and social media.
There are public affairs officers (PAOs) in NRC Headquarters (listed above) who generally handle public and media relations with regard to agency policy, programs, and generic issues, while PAOs in each NRC Region (listed below) handle public affairs activities involving mostly licensed nuclear facilities in their regions.
