The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is issuing Revision 2 of NUREG-0561, "Physical Protection of Shipments of Irradiated Reactor Fuel." This revised document sets forth means, methods, and procedures that the NRC staff considers acceptable for satisfying the requirements for the physical protection of spent nuclear fuel (SNF) during transportation by road, rail, and water; and for satisfying the requirements for background investigations of individuals granted unescorted access to SNF during transportation.
