Vulnerability and Threat Information for Facilities Storing Spent Nuclear Fuel and High-Level Radioactive Waste

The Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) will discuss with affected stakeholders vulnerability and threat information associated with the forthcoming security rulemaking to revise Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR) Part 72, "Licensing Requirements for the Independent Storage of Spent Nuclear Fuel, High-Level Radioactive Waste, and Reactor-Related Greater Than Class C Waste," and 73, "Physical Protection of Plants and Materials." This information will be used to inform the regulatory basis for the rulemaking which will issue new risk-informed and performance-based security regulations for Spent Nuclear Fuel (SNF) and High-Level Radioactive Waste (HLW) storage facilities. The draft regulatory basis was published for comment in the Federal Register (FR) on December 16, 2009 (74 FR 66589). This meeting will be closed under exemptions 3.a and 3.b of the Commission's policy statement \1\, due to the expected discussion of classified information. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
