The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) has submitted a request to renew a collection of information titled "Physical Protection of Plants and Materials" to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for review. This information collection involves rules under 10 CFR part 73 to protect special nuclear materials and nuclear facilities. The NRC requires comments on this submission by May 28, 2025, and provides several methods for the public to access more details and share their thoughts. The objective of these regulations is to ensure the security of nuclear materials and facilities to protect public health and safety.
Simple Explanation
The people who make rules about keeping nuclear plants and materials safe want to keep collecting information to make sure everything stays super secure. They're asking people to share their thoughts on this plan, mostly by using the internet, which might be tricky for some people.
