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 1.161, ``Evaluation of Reactor Pressure Vessels 
with Charpy Upper-Shelf Energy Less than 50 Ft-lb,'' describes general 
procedures acceptable to the NRC staff for evaluating reactor pressure 
vessels when the Charpy upper-shelf energy falls below the 50 ft-lb 
limit specified in NRC's regulations.
    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

(DG-1023, issued in September 1993) are available for inspection or
