Abstract:
The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC), in coordination with the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT), is amending its regulations governing the packaging and transportation of radioactive material. Historically, the NRC has updated its transportation safety regulations to align with the safety standards established by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA). These amendments continue to ensure that NRC regulations are consistent with DOT requirements for the domestic packaging and transportation of radioactive material and remain generally harmonized with IAEA safety standards. These revisions have been coordinated with the DOT and its hazardous materials regulations to maintain a consistent framework for the domestic transportation and packaging of radioactive material. In addition, this final rule revises 10 CFR Part 71 to incorporate administrative, editorial, and clarifying changes, including updates to certain Agreement State compatibility category designations.
