Audit of the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission’s Security Oversight of Category 1 and Category 2 Quantities of Radioactive Material
Report Information
Recommendations
Update the Enforcement Policy and Enforcement Manual to specifically reference Title 10 C.F.R. Part 37 requirements; include in these updated documents any necessary references to the newly updated informal guidance; and, disseminate the updated documents for staff consideration when determining the severity level of Part 37 violations.
Pending the update of the Enforcement Policy and Enforcement Manual, ensure the periodically updated NMSS supplemental guidance is readily accessible and is available to all staff responsible for Part 37 enforcement activities.
Update NMSS informal guidance, as needed, with up-to-date examples for staff to consistently determine the severity level of Part 37 violations.
