Title: Alternative Physical Security Requirements for Advanced Reactors [NRC-2017-0227] 
Abstract:

This rule would amend the Nuclear Regulatory Commission's physical security requirements for small modular reactors and other advanced reactor technologies. This rulemaking would establish voluntary alternative physical security requirements commensurate with the potential consequences to public health and safety and the common defense and security. This rulemaking would provide regulatory stability, predictability, and clarity in the licensing process and minimize or eliminate uncertainty for applicants who may otherwise have to seek exemptions from the regulations.
