The Nuclear Regulatory Commission is proposing a rule to change how companies must prove that their packaging for radioactive materials is safe during transport.
Why it matters: This is a technical administrative change intended to make it faster and easier for companies to get approval for shipping radioactive materials by providing more flexibility in how they prove their containers are safe.
Who it affects
- Companies that manufacture, transport, or ship radioactive materials
This is a proposed rule from the Nuclear Regulatory Commission; readers should consult the Federal Register before relying on these changes as they are not yet final.
