The NRC ensures compliance through a combination of licensing, inspection, and enforcement actions. Medical facilities that use radioactive materials must obtain a license from the NRC, which involves a thorough review of their safety protocols and capabilities. Once licensed, these facilities are subject to regular inspections to ensure they adhere to NRC regulations. In cases of non-compliance, the NRC has the authority to impose fines, suspend licenses, or take other enforcement actions to protect public health and safety.
