Comment on FR Doc # 2026-12702, NRC-2025-1370-0007, from Fred Schofer

Summary: A professional nuclear engineer submits comments opposing the proposed rule, arguing that it relies on an incomplete evidentiary record and fails to adequately evaluate the risk-side consequences of proposed regulatory relaxations. The commenter specifically criticizes the self-certification pathways for physical security exemptions, the extension of unreviewed reporting windows for special nuclear material, and the lack of a reprocessing-specific decommissioning funding standard.
