What US Atomic Energy Act (42 USC ch 23): Nuclear Material and Facility Licensing requires
The Atomic Energy Act (42 U.S.C. ch. 23) is the principal US statute governing the civilian and defense use of nuclear materials and facilities. Civilian licensing and regulation are administered by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, with defense functions assigned to the Department of Energy. Section 2073 governs the domestic distribution of special nuclear material, and section 2111 governs the domestic distribution of byproduct material. Section 2131 provides that a license is required to transfer, receive, manufacture, produce, acquire, possess, use, import or export any utilization or production facility. Section 2133 authorizes the issuance of commercial licenses for utilization and production facilities, such as power reactors, subject to conditions protecting health and minimizing danger to life or property. Section 2201 sets the general duties and powers of the Commission, including rulemaking, inspection and the establishment of safety standards. Section 2232 governs license applications and section 2236 governs revocation. Section 2272 provides criminal penalties for willful violations involving special nuclear material and facilities, and section 2282 authorizes civil monetary penalties for violations of licensing requirements. The Act is the legal foundation for US nuclear reactor and materials licensing and safety regulation.
