Ensure nuclear safety from the onset

What is nuclear power plant licensing and why is it important?

Licensing is one of the first and most crucial steps in ensuring a safe and secure nuclear power plant (NPP) project. National regulations and standards that govern the issuance of the licenses help to mitigate risk and increase public acceptance of NPPs by identifying all internal and external safety factors that pose potential risks to the general public and environment. Developers and operators have to show technical and environmental compliance to these regulations from the onset to obtain the license.
