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 3 of Regulatory Guide 1.8, ``Qualification and Training of 
Personnel for Nuclear Power Plants,'' provides current guidance on 
qualifications and training for nuclear power plant personnel that is 
acceptable to the NRC staff. This regulatory guide endorses ANSI/ANS-
3.1-1993, ``Selection, Qualification, and Training of Personnel for 
Nuclear Power Plants,'' with certain clarifications, additions, and 
exceptions.

guides currently being developed or improvements in all published
