Procedures for Determining Eligibility for Access to Classified Matter and Special Nuclear Material or Eligibility to Hold a Sensitive Position
This Department of Energy regulation establishes procedures for determining eligibility of DOE employees, contractors, and other designated persons for access to classified information, special nuclear material, and sensitive positions. It implements multiple executive orders and the National Security Adjudicative Guidelines, outlining administrative review and appeals processes while ensuring fairness and preventing retaliation.
Criteria and Procedures for Emergency Access to Non-Federal and Regional Low-Level Waste Disposal Facilities
Transfer of Real Property at Defense Nuclear Facilities for Economic Development
10 CFR Part 770 establishes procedures for the Department of Energy to transfer real property at closed or downsized defense nuclear facilities through sale or lease to support economic development. The rule includes indemnification procedures for claims arising from releases of hazardous substances or contaminants resulting from DOE activities, subject to NEPA review and fund availability.
Procedural Rules for DOE Nuclear Activities
10 CFR Part 820 establishes procedural rules governing conduct of persons involved in DOE nuclear activities to ensure compliance with DOE Nuclear Safety Requirements. The regulation defines key terms, enforcement processes, and administrative procedures, with Naval nuclear propulsion activities excluded from certain interpretations and exemptions provisions under the Deputy Administrator for Naval Reactors.
General Guidelines for the Preliminary Screening of Potential Sites for a Nuclear Waste Repository
10 CFR Part 960 establishes general guidelines for the preliminary screening and evaluation of potential sites for nuclear waste repositories under the Nuclear Waste Policy Act of 1982. The regulations define key terms such as accessible environment, candidate sites, containment, and controlled areas, and establish the framework by which the Department of Energy evaluates site suitability in coordination with the NRC and affected states and Indian tribes.
Standard Contract for Disposal of Spent Nuclear Fuel and/or High-Level Radioactive Waste
10 CFR Part 961 establishes standard contract terms for the Department of Energy to accept title to, transport, and dispose of spent nuclear fuel and high-level radioactive waste from civilian nuclear power reactor owners and generators. Owners and generators pay fees to recover DOE's full disposal costs, with receipts deposited in the Nuclear Waste Fund. Contracts must be executed by June 30, 1983, or by the date the owner/generator commences generation or takes title to such waste, whichever is later.
Byproduct Material
10 CFR Part 962 defines 'byproduct material' under the Atomic Energy Act for DOE facilities as any radioactive material (except special nuclear material) produced or made radioactive by exposure to radiation during special nuclear material production or use. For RCRA compliance, only actual radionuclides in DOE-owned radioactive waste are covered; nonradioactive hazardous components remain subject to separate RCRA regulation.
Export and Import of Nuclear Equipment and Material
Extraordinary Nuclear Occurrences
10 CFR Part 840 establishes administrative criteria for determining "extraordinary nuclear occurrences" under DOE contractor indemnity agreements. It sets thresholds for substantial discharge or dispersal of source, special nuclear, or byproduct material and offsite radiation levels, then requires evaluation of whether substantial damages to persons or property offsite have occurred or are probable. The criteria are distinct from health and safety regulatory limits and apply to DOE contractor activities covered by nuclear hazards indemnity provisions.
Standby Support for Certain Nuclear Plant Delays
10 CFR Part 950 establishes a standby support program providing risk insurance contracts to sponsors of new advanced nuclear facilities approved after 1993. The program covers costs from delays caused by NRC regulatory review failures, pre-operational hearings, or litigation, with indemnification up to $500 million for the first two reactors and $250 million for subsequent reactors.

Nuclear Safety Management
10 CFR Part 830 establishes nuclear safety management requirements for DOE contractors, personnel, and other parties conducting activities affecting DOE nuclear facility safety. It excludes NRC-licensed activities, Naval Nuclear Propulsion operations, DOT-regulated transportation, nuclear waste activities, and space-based nuclear systems. The regulation defines key safety concepts including documented safety analyses, hazard categories, criticality, technical safety requirements, and administrative controls, applying a graded approach to compliance proportional to facility hazards and mission.
