The proposed rule would amend the Commission's regulations by implementing the new authority in section 161A of the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended, for access to enhanced weapons and associated firearms background checks, and would modify certain physical security event notifications at power reactor facilities and Category I strategic special nuclear materials facilities. A supplemental proposed rule, expanded the scope of the proposed rule to include at-reactor Independent Spent Fuel Storage Installation.
