Amendments to R117:
1. For safety and security purposes, the construction or development of FBR (fast breeder reactor) nuclear fission systems is strictly forbidden. As these systems are notoriously unsafe and produce weapons-grade material.
2. The safety guidelines regarding fusion systems will be governed and determined by the FFAEC.
3. All non-maritime fission reactors must be liquid or fluid-cooled, or otherwise be in a submerged containment vessel with a clearence of at least 15 feet of water between the reactor vessel and surface of the containment well. This will serve as a safeguard against radiation leakage, and will buy more time in the event of a catatrophic failure.
4. No commercial entity may operate a nuclear system without adhering to the safety standards set forth by the FFAEC.
