Purpose
- The purpose of this template revision is to maintain industry alignment as initially intended by the NSIAC initiative. This achieves two goals:
implementation of consistent standards, programs, and practices to meet the same objective of providing high assurance that activities involving special nuclear material are not inimical to the common defense and security and do not constitute an unreasonable risk to the public health and safety, and
provides a regulatory framework that is consistent for the NRC to verify, through inspections, that licensees have a clearly documented security program to meet specific regulatory requirements
