Title: Enhanced Security for Special Nuclear Material (formerly Physical Protection for Category I, II, and III Special Nuclear Material) [NRC-2014-0118] 
Abstract:

This rule will update fuel cycle and special nuclear material (SNM) security requirements in part 73 to make generically applicable security requirements imposed in post 9/11 Security Orders.  Based on continued monitoring of threat information and updated technical analyses, this rulemaking will also enhance the existing security requirements.  Specifically, risk insights from the recent studies led the NRC to consider the benefits of using a more risk informed material attractiveness approach for SNM in the grading of physical protection requirements for fixed sites and transportation.
