Nuclear Regulatory Intelligence MCP Server

Nuclear energy and waste compliance intelligence for plant operators, insurers, decommissioning firms, and environmental organizations. This MCP server orchestrates 8 data sources covering NRC regulatory actions, seismic hazard data, weather alerts, disaster history, environmental monitoring, corporate transparency, and nuclear legislation. It delivers plant risk assessment, seismic vulnerability analysis, regulatory compliance tracking, decommissioning timeline monitoring, environmental contamination risk scoring, waste facility screening, plant comparison benchmarking, and comprehensive regional nuclear exposure reports with a Composite Nuclear Risk Score (0-100).

Data Sources

• Federal Register -- NRC rulemakings, enforcement orders, license amendments, safety evaluations, and reactor oversight actions published in the daily journal of the US government
• Data.gov -- Federal open data platform providing nuclear facility datasets, radiation monitoring records, environmental impact assessments, and spent fuel storage data
• FEMA Disaster Declarations -- Federal disaster declarations affecting nuclear emergency planning zones, including natural disasters impacting plant operations and evacuation readiness
• USGS Earthquake Data -- United States Geological Survey seismic activity data including earthquake locations, magnitudes, depths, and proximity to nuclear facilities and fault lines
• NOAA Weather Alerts -- Severe weather warnings affecting nuclear plant operations including extreme temperatures impacting cooling systems, hurricanes, tornadoes, and flooding events
• OpenAQ Air Quality -- Open air quality monitoring data from stations near nuclear facilities providing PM2.5, PM10, ozone, and other pollutant measurements for environmental baseline assessment
• OpenCorporates -- Global corporate registry data for nuclear facility operator ownership transparency, corporate structure analysis, and multi-jurisdiction presence verification
• Congress Bill Tracker -- Nuclear energy legislation tracking including reactor licensing reform, waste management policy, advanced reactor authorization, and decommissioning funding bills

How the scoring works

Five specialized scoring models contribute to the Composite Nuclear Risk Score.

Plant Proximity Risk Index: Seismic magnitude history near the facility, earthquake frequency within relevant distance thresholds, FEMA disaster declarations in the emergency planning zone, and compound hazard overlay when seismic, weather, and disaster events converge.

Regulatory Compliance Score: Density of NRC-related Federal Register actions (enforcement orders, license modifications, safety evaluations), congressional legislative activity relevant to nuclear regulation, and Data.gov nuclear dataset availability indicating regulatory attention.

Environmental Contamination Probability: Air quality monitoring data from OpenAQ stations near the facility, waste-related Federal Register actions, Data.gov radiation and contamination datasets, and pattern indicators suggesting environmental release events.

Operator Transparency Rating: Corporate registry depth from OpenCorporates, multi-jurisdiction entity presence, ownership chain clarity, and regulatory filing accessibility. Opaque corporate structures elevate risk.

Composite Nuclear Risk Score (0-100): Weighted combination of seismic vulnerability, regulatory compliance, environmental contamination, and operator transparency factors.

Score Range	Risk Level	Interpretation
0-20	LOW	Strong compliance, low seismic risk, clean environment
21-40	MODERATE	Minor regulatory activity or moderate seismic exposure
41-60	ELEVATED	Active regulatory actions or significant seismic history
61-80	HIGH	Multiple compounding risk factors
81-100	CRITICAL	Severe multi-factor risk requiring immediate attention

Use cases for nuclear regulatory intelligence

Plant risk scoring for underwriting

Score nuclear plant risk for insurance and reinsurance underwriting decisions. The composite score combines seismic, regulatory, environmental, and operator factors into a single metric for premium setting and risk selection.

Regulatory compliance monitoring

Track NRC regulatory actions affecting specific plants or the nuclear industry broadly. Federal Register enforcement orders, license amendments, and safety evaluation findings provide early indicators of compliance trends.

Decommissioning project planning

Monitor decommissioning regulatory milestones, waste management progress, and site remediation status. Useful for decommissioning contractors tracking regulatory requirements and project timelines.

Environmental impact assessment

Evaluate environmental contamination risk near nuclear facilities using air quality data, waste management regulatory actions, and radiation monitoring datasets. Supports environmental impact statement development.

Seismic hazard evaluation

Assess seismic vulnerability for nuclear sites using USGS earthquake history, fault proximity analysis, and compound hazard assessment combining seismic, weather, and disaster data.

Regional nuclear exposure analysis

Generate comprehensive exposure reports for an entire state or region covering all nuclear facilities, seismic zones, regulatory activity, and environmental monitoring. Useful for state energy regulators and emergency management agencies.

How much does it cost?

This MCP uses pay-per-event pricing. You are only charged when a tool is called.

Each tool call costs $0.10. The Apify Free plan includes $5 of monthly platform credits, enough for approximately 50 nuclear intelligence queries per month.

Usage Example	Estimated Cost
Single plant risk assessment	$0.10
Regional nuclear exposure report	$0.10
Compare two plants	$0.20
Quarterly monitoring of 5 plants	$0.50

How it works

1. Tool call received -- Your MCP client sends a plant name, location, or region query.
2. Parallel actor execution -- Up to 8 Apify actors run simultaneously across Federal Register, Data.gov, FEMA, USGS, NOAA, OpenAQ, OpenCorporates, and Congress bill databases.
3. Risk scoring -- Specialized models compute seismic vulnerability, regulatory compliance, environmental contamination probability, and operator transparency ratings.
4. Composite assessment -- Individual dimension scores are weighted and combined into the Composite Nuclear Risk Score.
5. Structured response -- Results are returned as JSON with composite scores, dimensional breakdowns, supporting data, and risk signals.

FAQ

Q: Does this access NRC ADAMS documents? A: It accesses Federal Register nuclear rulemakings and Data.gov nuclear datasets. NRC ADAMS provides deeper document-level access for specific license amendments and inspection reports, which is not currently included.

Q: Can it assess spent fuel storage risk? A: The waste_facility_screening tool analyzes regulatory actions and environmental data around nuclear waste storage sites. It identifies regulatory concerns rather than assessing physical storage conditions.

Q: Does it cover international nuclear facilities? A: The primary data sources focus on US nuclear facilities (NRC Federal Register actions, FEMA, USGS, OpenAQ). USGS earthquake data has global coverage for seismic assessments.

Q: How current is the seismic data? A: USGS earthquake data is fetched live and includes recent seismic events. Historical earthquake records provide long-term magnitude and frequency patterns.

Q: Is it legal to use this data? A: All data sources are publicly available government databases. See Apify's guide on web scraping legality.

Q: Can I compare multiple plants? A: The compare_plant_risks tool generates dimensional comparison data for a single plant. Run it for multiple plants and compare the resulting scores side by side.
