Title: Enhanced Security for Special Nuclear Material [NRC-2014-0118]
Abstract: This rule would update fuel cycle and special nuclear material (SNM) security regulations in part 73 to make generically applicable security requirements imposed in post 9/11 Security Orders. This rulemaking would also enhance existing security requirements through continued monitoring of threat information and updated technical analyses. In particular, risk insights from recent studies have led the Nuclear Regulatory Commission 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. This rule was formerly titled "Physical Protection for Category I, II, and III Special Nuclear Material."
