The NRC territory is broken down into four geographical regions; until the late 1990s, there was a Region V office in [[Walnut Creek, California]] which was absorbed into Region IV, and Region V was dissolved.

* [[:Nuclear Regulatory Commission Region I|Region I]], located in [[King of Prussia, Pennsylvania]], oversees the [[northeastern United States|northeastern states]].
* [[:Nuclear Regulatory Commission Region II|Region II]], located in [[Atlanta, Georgia]], oversees most of the [[southeastern United States|southeastern states]].
* [[:Nuclear Regulatory Commission Region III|Region III]], located in [[Lisle, Illinois]], oversees the [[midwestern United States|Midwest]].
* [[:Nuclear Regulatory Commission Region IV|Region IV]], located in [[Arlington, Texas]], oversees the  [[western United States|western]] and [[South Central United States|south central states]].

In these four regions NRC oversees the operation of [[List of nuclear reactors#United States|US nuclear reactors]], namely 94 power-producing reactors,<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.nrc.gov/reactors/power.html|title=Power Reactors}}</ref> and 31 non-power-producing, or research and test reactors.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.nrc.gov/reactors/operating/map-nonpower-reactors.html|title = Map of Research and Test Reactor Sites}}</ref> Oversight is done on several levels. For example:

* Each power-producing reactor site has resident inspectors, who monitor day-to-day operations.
* Numerous special inspection teams, with many different specialties, routinely conduct inspections at each site.
