Nuclear Regulatory Commission
The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is proposing to amend its regulations for the licensing of byproduct material, some source material, and some special nuclear material. The NRC's goal in amending these regulations is to modernize the safe, effective, and efficient use of licensed material. This action would reduce the burden of the NRC's licensing process, eliminate the need for certain exemptions from existing regulations, and eliminate unnecessary requirements. The NRC is seeking public comment on this proposed rule and draft interim guidance.
