Title: Revisions to Transportation Safety Requirements and Compatibility With International Atomic Energy Agency Transportation Standards [NRC-2016-0179] 
Abstract:

This rulemaking would amend the NRC's regulations regarding the packaging and transportation of radioactive material to make them compatible with those of the International Atomic Energy Agency.  The rule would harmonize domestic regulations for Type B and fissile radioactive material transportation packaging with the 2012 and 2018 Editions of the IAEA Safety Standards Regulations for the Safe Transport of Radioactive Material.  This rulemaking would address knowledge gained in scientific and technical advances and affect the package design requirements and transportation of radioactive material.
