[en] This Ordinance (RS 732.11) repeals the 1978 Ordinance on definitions and licences in the atomic energy field with the exception of Annexes 2 and 3 and concerns in particular, the licensing procedure for atomic installations. It also regulates the export, import and transit of nuclear materials and equipment. (NEA)

[en] This Decree (No. 83/7405) on the licensing procedure for nuclear installations came into force on 19 December 1983 and supersedes Decree No. 7/9141 of 5 December 1974 on the same subject. The general lines of the licensing procedure laid down by this new Decree are similar to that provided by the 1979 Decree; it is also carried out in three stages: site, construction and operating licences are delivered in succession. (NEA)

[en] This article reports on the recommendations from the Regulatory Review Group (RRG) of the Nuclear Regulatory Commission released on August 20. The general thrust of the report is that the RRG considers the technical substance of the agency's regulations to be either acceptable or under an appropriate review process, but believes that licensees are improperly burdened by arbitrary or vague 'commitments,' decreed by NRC personnel and not clearly based on regulations. The RRG report stated a belief 'that fundamental change can be achieved and maintained only through rulemaking which unambiguously sets the standards to be pursued by both the staff and the industry. If the performance objectives of the regulations are deficient they should be changed and subject to the Backfit Rule. This recommendation is so dominant in effecting change that the Review Group has included as Appendix A a commission paper and proposed rule.'

[en] The purpose of the meeting presentation is for the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to provide an up-to-date status of the Waste Isolation Pilot Plant (WIPP) Compliance Criteria rulemaking (40 CFR part 194). The final rule cleared the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) review process, pursuant to Executive Order 12866, in January 1996. The rule was signed by the EPA Administrator and subsequently published in the Federal Register on February 9, 1996 (61 FR 5224-5245).
