NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION
Draft Regulatory Guide; Issuance, Availability
The Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) has issued for public
comment a proposed revision of a guide in its Regulatory Guide Series.
Regulatory Guides are 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 is temporarily identified by its task number, DG-
1121,
[[Page 34013]]
which should be mentioned in all correspondence concerning this draft
guide. Draft Regulatory Guide DG-1121, ``Guidelines for Categorizing
Structures, Systems, and Components in Nuclear Power Plants According
to their Safety Significance,'' is being developed to describe a
process that is acceptable to the NRC staff for the development and
assessment of evaluation models that may be used to comply with the
NRC's regulations with respect to the categorization of structures,
systems, and components (SSCs) that are considered in risk-informing
special treatment requirements. This guide conforms to a proposed
amendment to 10 CFR 50.69 that was published in the Federal Register
(68 FR 26511) on May 16, 2003.
This draft guide has not received complete staff approval and does
not represent an official NRC staff position.
