Abstract

This document provides guidance to U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) licensees or applicants on developing and implementing a physical protection program for the protection of risk-significant radioactive materials (e.g., category 1 and category 2 quantities of radioactive material). The intent of this information is to provide NRC licensees or applicants guidance with specific emphasis on physical security best practices. The approaches and methods in this document are not requirements; however, the NRC considers them to be acceptable for complying with the requirements in Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR) Part 37, "Physical Protection of Category 1 and Category 2 Quantities of Radioactive Material."
