NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION

Guidelines for Preparing and Reviewing Applications for the 
Licensing of Non-Power Reactors: Availability

    The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) has published NUREG-
1537, ``Guidelines for Preparing and Reviewing Applications for the 
Licensing of Non-Power Reactors.'' Part 1 of NUREG-1537 contains format 
and content guidance for non-power reactor applicants and licensees and 
Part 2 contains a standard review plan and acceptance criteria for NRC 
non-power reactor reviewers.
    The format and content guide suggests a uniform format for 
presenting information in non-power reactor applications, helps ensure 
completeness of information provided, assists the Commission staff and 
others in locating information, and aids in increasing the efficiency 
of the review process. The format and content guide represents a format 
for non-power reactor applications that is acceptable to the NRC staff. 
Conformance with the format and content, however, is not required.
    The standard review plan ensures the quality and uniformity of the 
staff reviews, makes information about regulatory matters concerning 
NPRs widely available, and improves the understanding of the staff 
review process by interested members of the non-power reactor community 
and the public.
    The document covers all aspects of non-power reactor licensing. The 
document can be used for the construction permit and the initial 
operating license, license renewal, license amendment, decommissioning 
and license termination, and highly enriched to low-enriched uranium 
core conversions. There is also an appendix to the format and content 
guide that lists selected regulations that are applicable to non-power 
reactors.
    NUREG-1537 is available for inspection and copying for a fee at the 
NRC Public Document Room, the Gelman Building, 2120 L Street, NW, 
Washington, DC 20555. Copies of this document can also be purchased 
from the Superintendent of Documents, U.S. Government Printing Office, 
P.O. Box 37082, Washington, DC 20402-9828 or the National Technical 
Information Service, 5285 Port Royal Road, Springfield, VA 22161-0002.

    Dated at Rockville, Maryland, this 16th day of April, 1996.

    For the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.
Seymour H. Weiss, Director
Non-Power Reactors and Decommissioning Project Directorate, Division of 
Reactor Program Management, Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation.
