What the agency says
The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) has received a petition for rulemaking (PRM) from Howard L. Hall, Ph.D., dated August 14, 2026, requesting that the NRC remove the exclusion of irradiated fuel reprocessing plants and establish material control and accounting requirements appropriate to that facility class. The petition was docketed by the NRC on September 14, 2026, and has been assigned Docket No. PRM-74-1. The NRC is examining the issues raised in PRM-74-1 to determine whether they should be considered in rulemaking. The NRC is requesting public comment on this petition at this time.
