True.

The operation of nuclear power plants in the United States is closely monitored and regulated.

NRC or Nuclear Regulatory Commission is the one that is tasked to monitor and regulate the construction and operation of nuclear power plants.

That statement is true.

Nuclear power plant is a relatively new technology and tend to have higher rate of danger compared to other source of energy.

If the substance in the nuclear power plant is leaked to the environment, the damage could last for hundreds of years. Because of this, nuclear related technology tend to be closely monitored and regulated by an organization called Nuclear Regulatory Commission .
