NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION
 

Regulatory Guide; Issuance, Availability

    The Nuclear Regulatory Commission has issued 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 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.
    Regulatory Guide 3.68, ``Nuclear Criticality Safety Training,'' 
provides guidance to license applicants and licensees on an appropriate 
nuclear criticality safety training program for the use of special 
nuclear material, especially the prevention of criticality accidents. 
This guidance on training is appropriate for licensees' employees 
associated with fissile material operations outside reactors, but it is 
not adequate for training for the nuclear criticality staff.
    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. Written comments may be submitted to 
the Publications Branch, Division of Freedom of Information and 
Publications Services, Office of Administration, U.S. Nuclear 
Regulatory Commission, Washington, DC 20555.
    Regulatory guides are available for inspection at the Commission's 
Public Document Room, 2120 L Street NW., Washington, DC. Copies of 
issued guides may be purchased from the Government Printing Office at 
the current GPO price. Information on current GPO prices may be 
obtained by contacting the Superintendent of Documents, U.S. Government 
Printing Office, Post Office Box 37082, Washington, DC 20013-7082, 
telephone (202) 512-2249 or (202) 512-2171. Issued guides may also be 
purchased from the National Technical Information Service on a standing 
order basis. Details on this service may be obtained by writing NTIS, 
5285 Port Royal Road, Springfield, VA 22161.
