Title: ISFSI Security Requirements for Radiological Sabotage [NRC-2009-0558] 
Abstract: The proposed rule would amend the Commission's regulations to revise the existing security requirements that apply during the storage of spent nuclear fuel (SNF) at an independent spent fuel storage installation (ISFSI), and during the storage of SNF and high-level waste at a Monitored Retrievable Storage Installation (MRS). This rule would require conforming changes to the ISFSI and MRS licensing requirements. The specific objectives of this rule are to update the ISFSI security requirements to improve the consistency and clarification of the security requirements for both types of ISFSI licensees (i.e., general and specific); make generically applicable requirements similar to those imposed on ISFSI licensees by the post September 11, 2001, security orders; and use a risk-informed, performance-based structure in ISFSI and MRS security regulations.
