NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION
Guidelines for Preparing and Reviewing Applications for the
Licensing of Non-Power Reactors: Availability
The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) has published NUREG-
1537, ``Guidelines for Preparing and Reviewing Applications for the
Licensing of Non-Power Reactors.'' Part 1 of NUREG-1537 contains format
and content guidance for non-power reactor applicants and licensees and
Part 2 contains a standard review plan and acceptance criteria for NRC
non-power reactor reviewers.
The format and content guide suggests a uniform format for
presenting information in non-power reactor applications, helps ensure
completeness of information provided, assists the Commission staff and
others in locating information, and aids in increasing the efficiency
of the review process. The format and content guide represents a format
for non-power reactor applications that is acceptable to the NRC staff.
Conformance with the format and content, however, is not required.
The standard review plan ensures the quality and uniformity of the
staff reviews, makes information about regulatory matters concerning
NPRs widely available, and improves the understanding of the staff
review process by interested members of the non-power reactor community
and the public.
The document covers all aspects of non-power reactor licensing. The
document can be used for the construction permit and the initial
operating license, license renewal, license amendment, decommissioning
and license termination, and highly enriched to low-enriched uranium
core conversions. There is also an appendix to the format and content
guide that lists selected regulations that are applicable to non-power
reactors.
NUREG-1537 is available for inspection and copying for a fee at the
NRC Public Document Room, the Gelman Building, 2120 L Street, NW,
Washington, DC 20555. Copies of this document can also be purchased
from the Superintendent of Documents, U.S. Government Printing Office,
P.O. Box 37082, Washington, DC 20402-9828 or the National Technical

Dated at Rockville, Maryland, this 16th day of April, 1996.
For the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.
Seymour H. Weiss, Director
Non-Power Reactors and Decommissioning Project Directorate, Division of
