The Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is the federal agency regulating civilian nuclear power in the United States. Under the FY2022 NDAA mandate, the NRC is required to share UAP/drone incident reports with aaro.

FOIA records obtained by liberation-times in April 2026 revealed 22 drone incidents at five U.S. nuclear power plants between September 2022 and February 2023, including a triangular object with a spotlight at Susquehanna Steam Electric Station and an eight-drone swarm at the same facility. The NRC stated it “takes potential threats from any aircraft, uncrewed aerial systems or unidentified anomalous phenomena seriously.” See src-nuclear-drone-triangular-object-2026-04.
