NRC RIN: 3150-AI12 Publication ID: Fall 2010 
Title: Physical Protection of Byproduct Material (NRC-2008-0120) 
Abstract: The proposed rule would amend the Commission's regulations to put in place security requirements for the use of category 1 and category 2 quantities of radioactive material. The objective is to ensure that effective security measures are in place to prevent the dispersion of radioactive material for malevolent purposes. The proposed amendment would also address background investigations and access controls, enhanced security for use, and transportation security for category 1 and category 2 quantities of radioactive material. This rulemaking subsumes RIN-3150-AI56, "Requirements for Fingerprinting and Criminal History Record Checks for Unescorted Access to Radioactive Material and Other Property (part 37)."
