    The Nuclear Regulatory Commission has issued two new guides in its

[[Page 49841]]

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 NRC'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 1.184, ``Decommissioning of Nuclear Power 
Reactors,'' in conjunction with other guides, describes methods and 
procedures that are acceptable to the NRC staff for implementing the 
NRC's regulations on the initial activities and the major phases of the 
decommissioning process. Regulatory Guide 1.185, ``Standard Format and 
Content for Post-Shutdown Decommissioning Activities Report,'' provides 
guidance on the type of information that is to be included in the 
licensee's Post-Shutdown Decommissioning Activities Report, and it 
establishes a standard format for the information in this report.
    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 Administrative Services, 
Office of Administration, U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, 
Washington, DC 20555.
    Regulatory guides are available for inspection or downloading at 
the NRC's Public Electronic Reading Room at WWW.NRC.GOV>. Single copies
