The Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is proposing to add new provisions regarding licensee procedures for responding to notifications of potential aircraft threat and for the mitigation of the loss of large areas of their facilities due to large fires or explosions.

The NRC is publishing this supplemental proposed rule notice to obtain additional stakeholder feedback on the additional regulatory text that has been added to these provisions since the original proposed rule was published for comment.
