Reward to Citizens for Providing Information Regarding Improper Disposal of Special Nuclear Material

The document is a memorandum responding to a request for advice on the Atomic Weapons and Special Nuclear Materials Act. The conclusion reached is that regulations should be established for rewarding citizens who report improper disposal of special nuclear material, rather than handling it on an ad hoc basis. The document presents the question of how to handle applications for rewards under the Act and recommends drafting regulations for this purpose.
