Despite its rigorous oversight, the NRC faces several challenges in the realm of toxicology:
Emerging Technologies: The rapid advancement of nuclear technologies presents new regulatory challenges, requiring the NRC to continuously update its knowledge base and adapt its guidelines. Environmental Impact: Understanding the long-term environmental impact of radioactive materials is complex, necessitating ongoing research and collaboration with environmental toxicologists. Risk Communication: Effectively communicating risks to the public, especially in the aftermath of a nuclear incident, is crucial for maintaining public confidence and ensuring compliance with safety measures.
