Nuclear Regulatory Commission October 6, 2021 – Federal Register Recent Federal Regulation Documents

The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is revising its regulations to remove the NRC's licensing authority for exports of deuterium for non-nuclear end use. The responsibility for the licensing of exports of deuterium for non-nuclear end use is being transferred to the Department of Commerce's Bureau of Industry and Security. The Bureau of Industry and Security is publishing a final rule in this edition of the Federal Register to include such exports under its export licensing jurisdiction. Exports of deuterium for nuclear end use will remain under the NRC's export licensing jurisdiction.
