APR-1400 design began in 1992 and was awarded certification by the Korean Institute of Nuclear Safety in May 2002. [3] The design certification application was submitted to the US Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) in December 2014 and in March 2015, it was accepted for technical review to determine if the reactor design meets basic US safety requirements.
WASH-1400, 'The Reactor Safety Study (later known as NUREG-75/014) was a report produced in 1975 for the Nuclear Regulatory Commission by a committee of specialists under Professor Norman Rasmussen. It "generated a storm of criticism in the years following its release". [ 1 ]
Nuclear safety in the United States is governed by federal regulations issued by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC).

Nuclear power plants pose high risk to public health and safety if radiation is released into surrounding communities and areas. This nuclear emergency level classification response system was firstly developed by the US Nuclear Regulatory Commission to allow effective and urgent responses to ultimately control and minimise any detrimental effects that nuclear chemicals can have. [1]
Those ratings are then used to advertise to consumers the safety of the vehicles. "Performance-based standards, or hitting some mark, is going to be a lot more effective in encouraging different ...
