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-0003, ``Guide for 
the Preparation of Applications for Licenses for Non-Self-Contained 
Irradiators,'' and is intended for Division 10, ``General.'' DG-0003 is 
being developed to provide guidance on preparing applications for new 
licenses, license amendments, and license renewals to possess 
radioactive material in non-self-contained irradiators, specifically 
panoramic dry-source-storage irradiators, underwater irradiators, and 
panoramic wet-source-storage irradiators.
    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 
October 1, 1994.
    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.

    Authority: 5 U.S.C. 552(a).

    Dated at Rockville, Maryland, this 22 day of December 1993.

    For the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.
Bill M. Morris,
Director, Division of Regulatory Applications, Office of Nuclear 
Regulatory Research.
