Memorandum of Understanding Between the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the Nuclear Regulatory Commission Regarding Nuclear Threat Incidents Involving NRC Licensed Facilities, Materials, or Activities

Riepilogo

The Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) entered into a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) in 1979. The MOU delineated the responsibilities of each agency regarding nuclear threat incidents involving NRC-licensed facilities, materials, or activities. In 1991, the NRC and FBI revised the MOU to reflect new legal authorities and operating experience. In 1999, the agencies reviewed the MOU and determined additional revisions were not required. We are currently publishing the MOU to inform the public of this review and staff conclusion regarding the continuing adequacy of the document. The text of the MOU between the NRC and the FBI follows.
