This rule would amend the Nuclear Regulatory Commission's regulations by implementing the authority in section 161A of the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended, which includes access to enhanced weapons and associated firearms background checks, and would modify physical security event notifications at power reactor facilities, at reactor Independent Spent Fuel Storage Installations (ISFSIs), and Category I strategic special nuclear materials facilities. One of the section 161A authorities implemented by this rulemaking is the authority to use certain weapons that would otherwise be prohibited by other State, local or other Federal laws (known as preemption authority).
