summary: The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is proposing to amend its regulations
  governing the packaging and transportation of radioactive material. This proposed
  action is responsive to several executive orders and the NRC's mission to enable
  the safe and secure use of nuclear materials in an efficient and reliable manner.
  The proposed amendments would establish voluntary provisions to provide greater
  flexibility for applicants by introducing risk-informed methodologies for demonstrating
  safety requirements and by providing an alternative radiation standard for approval
  of Type B packages for certain exclusive use shipments. The proposed rule would
  streamline application processes for package approval, remove unnecessary requirements,
  and clarify existing provisions.
