Packaging and Transportation of Radioactive Material; Announcement of Public Meetings

概要

The Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is conducting two public meetings on June 4 and June 24, 2002, to obtain stakeholder comments on its proposed rule that would revise the NRC's regulations on the packaging and transportation of radioactive material to make them compatible with the latest revision of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) standards and to codify other NRC-initiated changes. The Department of Transportation (DOT) also published its proposed rule to harmonize its regulations with the same IAEA standards, and will be participating in the meetings. The public is invited to the meetings to discuss the two rules.
