This 2023 Nuclear Regulatory Commission briefing paper from staff in DSO/SOSB asked for approval to update security incident database flyover reporting guidance so it covers Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena (UAP). It explains that the FY-2023 National Defense Authorization Act requires the NRC to send UAP and drone flyover data to the Pentagon's All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO) every year. It notes that the NRC has no guidance for telling UAP apart from drones. It recommends a separate UAP category, guidance for licensees and possible rulemaking.
3 • Issue a Security Advisory providing another update to flyover guidelines that includes UAP. • Possible future rule making regarding the new federal law’s UAP reporting requirements and its applicability to the NRC. • Impact on staff workload is negligible. HOO should add another category of SID reporting. Licensees should receive guidance through a Generic Communication (possible security advisory). These recommendations should not significantly increase security incident database reporting (i.e. SID flyover reporting involving drones remains at 12 to 25 reports per year). Did you/are you planning to utilize the Be riskSMART framework? ☒Yes ☐No. Explanation: We will work with internal and external stakeholders to ensure all benefits, insights, and risks are being considered. 9.
