Material Control and Accounting Amendments

The Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is proposing to amend its material control and accounting (MC&A) regulations. The reporting requirements for submitting Material Balance Reports and Inventory Composition Reports are being revised to change both the frequency and timing of the reports. The categorical exclusion for approving safeguards plans is being revised to specifically include approval of amendments to safeguards plans. The MC&A requirements for Category II facilities are being revised to be more risk informed. The proposed amendments are intended to reduce unnecessary burden on licensees and the NRC without adversely affecting public health and safety.
