Title: Enhanced Weapons for Spent Fuel Storage Installations and Transportation--Section 161A Authority [NRC-2015-0018] | |
Abstract:
This rule would amend the Nuclear Regulatory Commission's regulations by implementing the new authority in section 161A of the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended, for access to covered weapons, enhanced weapons, and associated firearms background checks at facilities storing spent nuclear fuel (SNF) and high-level radioactive waste (HLW) and the associated transportation security escort activities for the transport of SNF, HLW, and Category I strategic special nuclear material (SSNM) (from aged SNF) to such storage facilities. This rulemaking supports a potential national strategy for the secure transportation and storage of SNF at a consolidated interim storage facility (CISF). This rulemaking is a follow-on to the initial enhanced weapons rulemaking (RIN 3150-AI49) that implements section 161A authority for several classes of facilities (i.e., power reactor), Category I strategic special nuclear material (SSNM), and at-reactor independent spent fuel storage installation. |
