NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION


Regulatory Guide; Issuance, Availability

    The Nuclear Regulatory Commission has revised a guide in its 
Regulatory Guide Series. The Regulatory Guide 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 to Regulatory Guide 4.7, ``General Site Suitability 
Criteria for Nuclear Power Stations,'' contains guidance on the major 
site characteristics related to public health and safety and 
environmental issues that the NRC staff considers in determining the 
suitability of sites for light-water-cooled nuclear power stations.
    Regulatory guides are available for inspection at the Commission's 
Public Document Room, 2120 L Street NW., Washington, DC. Requests for 
single copies of regulatory guides, both the final and draft versions, 
should be made in writing to the Printing, Graphics and Distribution 
Branch, Office of Administration, U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, 
Washington, DC 20555, or by fax at (301) 415-5272. Telephone requests 
cannot be accommodated. Final 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. Regulatory guides are not 
copyrighted, and Commission approval is not required to reproduce them.
