The Nuclear Regulation Office (NRO) is primarily responsible for regulatory rule-making and safety regulation related to construction, operation, and decommissioning of nuclear power reactors. It oversees the safety performance of nuclear power plants and research reactors through on-site inspections, safety reviews, license issuance, and regulatory and consulting meetings in accordance with the Nuclear Reactor Facilities Regulation Act and related safety standards. The NRO collaborates regularly with nuclear regulatory authorities from other nations to enhance its regulatory effectiveness.
