NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION
Draft Regulatory Guide; Issuance, Availability
The Nuclear Regulatory Commission has issued for public comment a
draft of a new guide planned for its Regulatory Guide Series. This
series has been developed to describe and make available to the public
such information as methods acceptable to the NRC staff for
implementing specific parts of the Commission's regulations, techniques
used by the staff in evaluating specific problems or postulated
accidents, and data needed by the staff in its review of applications
for permits and licenses.
The draft guide is temporarily identified as DG-1027, ``Format and
Content of Application for Approval for Thermal Annealing of Reactor
Pressure Vessels,'' and is intended for Division 1, ``Power Reactors.''
DG-1027 is being developed to describe a format and content acceptable
to the NRC staff or the application to perform a thermal annealing of a
reactor vessel. This guide also would describe acceptance criteria that
the NRC staff would use in evaluating the applications to ensure that
the annealing conditions imposed on the reactor and other equipment,
components, and structures do not degrade the original design of the
system.
This draft guide is being issued to involve the public in the early
stages of the development of a regulatory position in this area. The
draft guide has not received complete staff review and does not
represent an official NRC staff position.
Public comments are being solicited on the guide. Comments should
be accompanied by supporting data. Written comments may be submitted to
the Rules Review and Directives Branch, Division of Freedom of
Information and Publications Services, Office of Administration, U.S.
Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Washington, DC 20555. Copies of comments
received may be examined at the NRC Public Document Room, 2120 L Street
NW., Washington, DC. Comments will be most helpful if received by
January 3, 1995.
Although a time limit is given for comments on this draft guide,
comments and suggestions in connection with items for inclusion in
guides currently being developed or improvements in all published
guides are encouraged at any time.
Regulatory guides are available for inspection at the Commission's
Public Document Room, 2120 L Street NW., Washington, DC. Requests for
single copies of draft guides (which may be reproduced) or for
placement on an automatic distribution list for single copies of future
draft guides in specific divisions should be made in writing to the
U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Washington, DC 20555, Attention:
Distribution and Mail Services Section. Telephone requests cannot be
accommodated. Regulatory guides are not copyrighted, and Commission
approval is not required to reproduce them.
