Subject: Issuance of Regulatory Issue Summary 2002-18

NRC Regulatory Issue Summary 2002-18, Issuance of Orders Imposing        
Additional Physical Protection Measures for the Transportation of Spent  
Nuclear Fuel Greater Than 100 Grams dated October 3, 2002                
                                                                         
The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission is issuing this regulatory issue  
summary to inform addressees of the issuance of Orders to selected       
licensees requiring implementation of interim compensatory measures      
(ICMs) concerning the physical protection of shipments of irradiated     
reactor fuel (i.e., spent nuclear fuel). These physical protection       
measures are intended to supplement the current physical protection and  
advance notification requirements in 10 CFR 73.37 and 73.72, during the  
current threat environment.

Subject: Issuance of Regulatory Issue Summary 2002-12I, Revision 1

NRC Regulatory Issue Summary 2002-12I, Revision 1: Transportation of     
Spent Nuclear Fuel Greater Than 100 Grams -- NRC Threat Advisory and     
Protective Measures System dated October 3, 2002                         
                                                                         
The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission is issuing Revision 1 to          
Regulatory Issue Summary (RIS) 2002-12I, "Transportation of Spent Nuclear
Fuel Greater than 100 Grams NRC Threat Advisory and Protective Measures  
System," dated August 19, 2002, to inform addressees of changes to the   
threat advisory conditions and protective measures system for their use  
in preplanning graded protective measures to respond to changes in the   
threat environment. Revision 1 supersedes RIS 2002-12I in its entirety.  
The NRC uses a RIS to communicate with the nuclear industry and other    
stakeholders on a variety of matters for which no response or action is  
required. However, this RIS communicates actions the NRC considers       
appropriate at each threat level. In the interest of expediency, the     
Commission has determined that a RIS is the most efficient mechanism to  
align the Office of Homeland Security, NRC, and licensee expectations    
with respect to licensees' response to threat advisories.                
                                                                         
ADAMS Accession No.: ML022740603

Subject: Issuance of Information Notice 2002-29

NRC Information Notice 2002-29, Recent Design Problems in Safety
