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 authority in Section 161A of the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended, related to access to enhanced weapons and associated firearms background checks for the protection of spent nuclear fuel (SNF). The rule would designate additional classes of facilities and activities appropriate for Section 161A authority.  This rulemaking 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).
