        <RULE_TITLE>Physical Protection for Spent Nuclear Fuel and High-Level Radioactive Waste</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The final rule amends the Commission's regulations to clarify physical protection requirements for spent nuclear fuel or high-level radioactive waste stored at independent spent fuel storage installations, power reactors that have permanently ceased reactor operations, monitored retrievable storage installations, and geologic repository operations areas. This rule allows general licensees the option of implementing the proposed physical protection requirements for spent nuclear fuel stored in approved casks at operating power reactor sites. This action is necessary to reduce the regulatory uncertainty regarding the physical protection requirements for the storage of spent nuclear fuel and high-level radioactive waste without reducing the level of protection for public health and safety.]]></ABSTRACT>
