NRC Revises Latest 10CFR Part 71 Final Rule
NRC 08-14 FR rev to IAEA FR 6-12-2015.pdf
The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) published a final rule in the Federal Register on June 12, 2015, in consultation with the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT), amending its regulations for the packaging and transportation of radioactive material. These amendments made conforming changes to the NRC’s regulations based on the International Atomic Energy Agency’s 2009 standards for the international transportation of radioactive material and maintain consistency with the DOT’s regulations. The final rule contained minor editorial errors in a calculation, outdated contact information, and outdated information for examining the materials that are incorporated by reference. This document corrects the final rule by revising the definition that contains these errors, and updates the contact and examination information. This rule is effective on August 14, 2015.
