The Atomic Energy Commission (AEC) was set up in 1946, to regulate the development and use of nuclear power, which at that time was not yet developed into peaceful uses. This came later, but it was found the AEC was not really suitable for regulating a new industry. In 1975 a new body, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) was set up to regulate the nuclear industry, and the AEC ceased. There is a Wikipedia entry for more details.
