Nuclear Fuel Services Fuel Fabrication Facility
The NRC has developed a new facility-specific resource that provides comprehensive information related to the Nuclear Fuel Services (NFS) Fuel Fabrication Facility in Erwin, Tennessee. NFS has conducted nuclear fuel fabrication and uranium recovery operations since 1959, and currently produces nuclear fuel containing both high-enriched and low-enriched uranium. NFS recently submitted a license renewal application for NRC review, and is also engaged in various decommissioning activities because some areas of the site have become contaminated with radioactive material and chemicals. The NRC's new facility-specific resource includes frequently asked questions, a public meeting archive, various collections of related documents, contact information, and related links.

BrowseAloud Assistive Technology
The NRC has further enhanced the accessibility of its public Web site by offering site visitors the BrowseAloud assistive technology solution. This customizable software allows you to "listen" to the contents of a Web page, highlighting the words and sentences as they are "read" aloud. Unlike other available screen readers, which are designed exclusively for the blind, BrowseAloud provides a range of options to accommodate the broader needs of print-disabled stakeholders, who have visual impairments, learning disabilities (such as dyslexia), or literacy challenges (including English as a second language). BrowseAloud is available free of charge for NRC Web site visitors to download and use.

Frequently Asked Questions About the Proposed Rule on Limiting the Quantity of Byproduct Material in a Generally Licensed Device
The proposed rule (74 FR 38372) would change the criteria for generally licensed devices (GLDs), so that certain devices that are now available under a general license (GL) would require specific licenses. By strengthening oversight and limiting the amount of radioactive materials allowed in GLDs, the proposed rule would enhance the NRC’s ability to protect public health and safety. In addition, the proposed rule would clarify the applicable requirements when a device authorized under a general license is instead held under a specific license.

Options to Revise Radiation Protection Regulations and Guidance is a dedicated subsite, which the NRC staff will use to engage stakeholders and interested parties in discussions regarding possible revision of the agency’s radiation protection regulations and guidance to achieve greater alignment with the 2007 Recommendations of the International Commission on Radiological Protection (ICRP Publication 103). In so doing, the staff hopes to identify potential conflicts, benefits, or unintended consequences that may result from drafting and implementing any related changes to the NRC's existing regulations.

NRC Regulatory Guides Document Collection
This document collection in the NRC's Electronic Reading Room has been redesigned and updated to simplify access to current and historical versions of the agency's active regulatory guides and drafts for public comment. The NRC issues regulatory guides, in 10 broad divisions, to describe to the public methods that the staff considers acceptable for use in implementing specific parts of the agency’s regulations, to explain techniques that the staff uses in evaluating specific problems or postulated accidents, to identify data that the staff needs in its review of applications for permits or licenses, and to provide guidance to applicants and licensees.

Waste Incidental to Reprocessing (WIR) and Performance Assessment (for Waste Disposal and Decommissioning)
An extensive new subsite devoted to the WIR subset of radioactive waste byproducts, which the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) has distinguished from high-level waste (HLW). Compared to HLW, WIR poses less risk to the health and safety of people and the environment because it meets certain criteria. For that reason, WIR does not need to be disposed of as HLW and, therefore, is managed under DOE’s regulatory authority rather than being regulated by the NRC. This new subsite offers an understanding of the Regulatory Authority and Responsibilities for WIR, with particular focus on the role that the NRC plays in the waste determination and disposal processes, as well as the monitoring of DOE actions, as they relate to the disposal of non-high-level wastes. Other new pages focus on Performance Assessment (for Waste Disposal and Decommissioning), through which the NRC evaluates potential releases of radioactivity into the environment, and assesses the resultant radiological doses to demonstrate whether a disposal facility has met its performance objectives.

Fire Protection
A new subsite with expanded information about the NRC's fire protection activities for operating reactors and fuel cycle facilities, as well as the agency's state-of-the-art Fire Research Program. This program encompasses regulations, guidance, and related licensing and oversight activities (including reliability assessments and modeling), specifically designed to minimize the occurrence of fires and mitigate the consequences of those that do occur.
