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 1.181, ``Content of the Updated Final Safety 
Analysis Report in Accordance with 10 CFR 50.71(e),'' has been 
developed to describe methods acceptable to the NRC staff for updating 
the content of Final Safety Analysis Reports pursuant to 10 CFR 
50.71(e), which requires Final Safety Analysis Reports to be updated 
periodically.

guides are encouraged at any time. Written comments may be submitted to 
the Rules and Directives Branch, Division of Administrative Services, 
Office of Administration, U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission,
