Title: Enhanced Weapons for Spent Fuel Storage Installations and Transportation--Section 161A Authority [NRC-2015-0018] 
Abstract:

This rulemaking would amend the NRC's regulations to implement the new authority in Section 161A of the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended, related to access of enhanced weapons for the protection of spent nuclear fuel (SNF).  These adjustments would support a potential national strategy for the secure transportation and storage of SNF.  The scope of this rulemaking would affect access to enhanced weapons during transportation and storage of SNF, high-level radioactive waste, and special nuclear material (from aged SNF).  This rulemaking is a follow-on to the initial enhanced weapons rulemaking (RIN 3150-AI49).
