NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION

Regulatory Guide; Issuance, Availability

    The Nuclear Regulatory Commission has issued a revision to a 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.
    Revision 2 of Regulatory Guide 1.149, ``Nuclear Power Plant 
Simulation Facilities for Use in Operator License Examinations,'' has 
been developed to provide current guidance on methods acceptable to the 
NRC staff for complying with the NRC's regulations on certification of 
a simulation facility consisting solely of a plant-referenced simulator 
and on applications for prior approval of a simulation facility for 
testing. This guide endorses, with certain exceptions and 
clarifications, ANSI/ANS-3.5-1993, ``Nuclear Power Plant Simulators for 
Use in Operator Training and Examination.''
    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, Offices 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. Single copies 
of regulatory guides may be obtained free of charge by writing the 
Office of Administration, Attention: Distribution and Services Section,
