## Abstract

The Nuclear Regulatory Commission is amending its regulations concerning the physical protection of spent nuclear fuel and high-level radioactive waste stored at independent spent fuel storage installations, monitored-retrievable storage installations, and geologic repository operations areas. This action is necessary to correct the inappropriate inclusion of surveillance/assessment and illumination systems within the requirement for tamper indication and line supervision.
