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 1.162, ``Format and Content of Report for Thermal 
Annealing of Reactor Pressure Vessels,'' describes a format and content 
acceptable to the NRC staff for the Thermal Annealing Report to be 
submitted to the NRC for describing the licensee's plan for thermal 
annealing a reactor vessel. This guide also describes the Thermal 
Annealing Results Report that must be submitted after the thermal 
annealing.
    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 Rules Review and Directives Branch, Division of Freedom of 
Information and Publications Services, Office of Administration, U.S. 
Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Washington, DC 20555.
