Physical Protection Rulemaking
A significant rulemaking on physical pro-tection of nuclear power plants is currently underway. Originally published for public comment in the Federal Register on October 26, 2006, the proposed rule enhances requirements for access controls, event reporting, security personnel training, safety and security activity coordination, contingency planning and radiological sabotage protection. It would also add requirements related to background checks for firearms users and authorization for enhanced weapons to fulfill certain provisions in the Energy Policy Act of 2005.
