Program-Specific Guidance About Licenses Authorizing Distribution to General Licensees

The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is revising its licensing guidance for licenses authorizing distribution to general licensees. The NRC is requesting public comment on draft NUREG-1556, Volume 16, Revision 1, ``Consolidated Guidance About Materials Licenses: Program-Specific Guidance about Licenses Authorizing Distribution to General Licensees.'' The document has been updated from the previous revision to include information on safety culture, security of radioactive materials, protection of sensitive information, and changes in regulatory policies and practices. This document is intended for use by applicants, licensees, and the NRC staff.
