On September 21, 2016 the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) issued for public comment Draft Regulatory Guide (DG) DG–5051 (81 FR 64955), ‘‘Shipping, Receiving, and Internal Transfer of Special Nuclear Material.’’ This DG would consolidate in one document NRC guidance concerning the material control and accounting requirements pertaining to shipments, receipts, and internal transfers of special nuclear material. The DG is part of the NRC’s ‘‘Regulatory Guide’’ series. This series was developed to describe and make available to the public information regarding methods that are acceptable to the NRC staff for implementing specific parts of the NRC’s regulations, techniques that the staff uses in evaluating specific issues or postulated events, and data that the staff needs in its review of applications for permits and licenses. Comments must be submitted by October 21, 2016.
