NUCLEAR REGULATORY

COMMISSION

Governors’ Designees Receiving

Advance Notification of Transportation

of Nuclear Waste

On January 6, 1982 (47 FR 596 and 47

FR 600), the Nuclear Regulatory

Commission (NRC) published in the

Federal Register final amendments to

10 CFR parts 71 and 73 (effective July

6, 1982), that require advance

notification to Governors or their

designees by NRC licensees prior to

transportation of certain shipments of

nuclear waste and spent fuel. The

advance notification covered in part 73

is for spent nuclear reactor fuel

shipments and the notification for part

71 is for large quantity shipments of

radioactive waste (and of spent nuclear

reactor fuel not covered under the final

amendment to 10 CFR part 73).

The following list updates the names,
