Export and Import of Nuclear Equipment and Materials
The Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is amending its regulations pertaining to the export and import of nuclear equipment and materials. This rulemaking is necessary to reflect the nuclear non- proliferation policies of the Executive Branch; U.S. Government reporting obligations to the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) and under agreements for cooperation in the peaceful uses of nuclear energy; the multilateral export control recommendations of the Nuclear Suppliers Group (NSG) and the Nuclear Non-proliferation Treaty Exporters Committee (Zangger Committee), of which the U.S. is a member; and IAEA publication INFCIRC/225/Rev. 4, "The Physical Protection of Nuclear Material and Nuclear Facilities." Also, this final rule makes certain editorial revisions, and corrects typographical errors.
