Security Orders
Security orders contain requirements for licensees to implement interim compensatory security measures beyond that currently required by NRC regulations and as conditions of licenses. Some of the requirements formalize a series of security measures that licensees took in response to advisories NRC issued in the aftermath of the September 11 terrorist attacks. Other requirements reflect additional security enhancements that have emerged from NRC's ongoing comprehensive security review.
Note: The documents on this Web page do not include specific compensatory measures or classified safeguards information. Specific compensatory security requirements (which include classified safeguards information) were addressed in separate attachments to the orders and these attachments have not been released to the public.
