Nuclear Regulatory Commission Proposes Relaxation of Packaging Requirements for High-Level Waste Containing Plutonium

The Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is proposing to relax packaging requirements for double containment of canisters containing vitrified high-level waste (HLW) containing plutonium, in response to a petition submitted by the Department of Energy (DOE). The proposed rule aims to make a minor correction to unit usage consistency with existing NRC policy.
