Nuclear and Facility Safety Policy Rules


DOE provides safety requirements and guidance in a number of forms. One form in which we publish requirements is through rulemaking. Federal rules and regulations are published in the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) and are noticed for review and comment by members of the public in the Federal Register (FR) consistent with the Administrative Procedures Act. Requirements in rules apply to our contractors whether or not they are also incorporated in DOE contracts.

Nuclear and Facility Safety Policy Rules addresses nuclear safety requirements in the 10 CFR Part 830, Nuclear Safety Management. Click on the links below to see the Federal Register notices for 10 CFR Part 830.
