While nanotechnology holds great promise, it also presents certain safety and regulatory challenges:
1. Toxicity and Environmental Impact: The potential toxicity of nanomaterials and their impact on the environment need thorough evaluation and regulation. 2. Standardization: There is a need for standardized methods to characterize and test nanomaterials to ensure their safe use. 3. Regulatory Framework: Developing a comprehensive regulatory framework that addresses the unique properties of nanomaterials is essential for their safe integration into nuclear applications.
