NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION


Regulatory Guides; Issuance, Availability

    The Nuclear Regulatory Commission has issued revisions to three 
guides 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 31 of Regulatory Guide 1.84, ``Design and Fabrication Code 
Case Acceptability, ASME Section III, Division 1,'' and Revision 31 of 
Regulatory Guide 1.85, ``Materials Code Case Acceptability, ASME 
Section III, Division 1,'' list those code cases that are generally 
acceptable to the NRC staff for implementation in the licensing of 
light-water-cooled nuclear power plants. Revision 12 of Regulatory 
Guide 1.147, ``Inservice Inspection Code Case Acceptability, ASME 
Section XI, Division 1,'' lists those code cases that are generally 
acceptable to the NRC staff for implementation in the inservice 
inspection of light-water-cooled nuclear power plants. These three 
guides are periodically revised to update the listings of acceptable 
code cases and to include the results of public comment and additional 
staff review.
    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 and Directives Branch, Division of Services, Office of
