NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION
Draft Regulatory Guide; Issuance, Availability
The Nuclear Regulatory Commission has issued for public comment a
proposed revision of a 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-1084
(which should be mentioned in all correspondence concerning this draft
guide), is the Second Proposed Revision 3 of Regulatory Guide 1.8,
``Qualification and Training of Personnel for Nuclear Power Plants.''
The guide will be in Division 1, ``Power Reactors.'' This proposed
revision is being developed to provide current guidance acceptable to
the NRC staff regarding qualifications and training for nuclear power
plant personnel. This regulatory guide would endorse an American
Nuclear Society standard, ANSI/ANS-3.1-1993, ``Selection,
Qualification, and Training of Personnel for Nuclear Power Plants,''
with certain clarifications, additions, and exceptions.
The 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 May 20, 1999.
