Nuclear Regulatory Commission September 3, 2008 – Federal Register Recent Federal Regulation Documents

The Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is proposing to amend its regulations to authorize the imposition of Federal criminal penalties on those who, without authorization, introduce weapons or explosives into specified classes of facilities and installations subject to the regulatory authority of the NRC. This action is necessary to implement section 229, ``Trespass on Commission Installations,'' of the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended.
