NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION
Draft Regulatory Guide; Issuance, Availability
The Nuclear Regulatory Commission has issued for public comment a
draft of a new guide in 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 NRC'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, temporarily identified by its task number, DG-1082
(which should be mentioned in all correspondence concerning this draft
guide), is titled ``Assessing and Managing Risk Before Maintenance
Activities at Nuclear Power Plants.'' This guide is being developed to
propose guidance on implementing certain provisions of the NRC's
Maintenance Rule by endorsing a revised Section 11 of an industry
guideline, NUMARC 93-01, ``Industry Guideline for Monitoring the
Effectiveness of Maintenance at Nuclear Power Plants,'' which was
prepared by the Nuclear Energy Institute.
This draft guide has not received complete staff approval and does
not represent an official NRC staff position.
Comments may be accompanied by relevant information or supporting
data. Written comments may be submitted to the Rules and Directives
Branch, 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 10, 2000.
