Title: Requirements for Fingerprint-Based Criminal History Records Checks for Individuals Seeking Unescorted Access to Research and Test Reactors [NRC-2008-0619] 
Abstract: The proposed rule would amend the Commission's regulations to require research and test reactor licensees (also called nonpower reactor licensees) to obtain a fingerprint-based criminal history records check before granting any individual unescorted access to their facilities. This action is necessary to comply with the requirements of section 652 of the Energy Policy Act of 2005, which amended section 149 of the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended, to require fingerprinting and a Federal Bureau of Investigation identification and a criminal history records check of any person who is permitted unescorted access to a utilization facility. The comment period was reopened following an external stakeholder request.
