The Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) recently published the 2024-2025 edition of its Information Digest.
The Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) has been publishing the digest since 1989 and it now comes out every two years. The Digest includes information pertaining to the agency’s activities, responsibilities and offers general information on nuclear-based topics.
In addition to NRC information the booklet also includes some nuclear data from other sources, such as the Department of Energy, Energy Information Administration and the International Atomic Energy Agency. The information is up to date as of Sept. 30, 2024. The next edition is due out in February 2027, according to the NRC website.
NRC Chairman David Wright stated in a March 5 press release that the Information Digest was one of the most important publications from the NRC and provides a simple overview of what the NRC does and its reasoning why. The publication will now be on a two-year cycle, with the next Information Digest being updated and published in February 2027.
