NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION


Draft Regulatory Guide; Issuance, Availability

    The Nuclear Regulatory Commission has issued for public comment a 
draft of a proposed 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 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.
    The draft guide, temporarily identified by its task number, DG-1100 
(which should be mentioned in all correspondence concerning this draft 
guide), is titled ``Design Guidance for Radioactive Waste Management 
Systems, Structures, and Components Installed in Light-Water-Cooled 
Nuclear Power Plants.'' This guide is being developed to propose 
guidance on methods acceptable to the NRC staff for complying with the 
NRC's regulations on the design, construction, installation, and 
testing of radioactive waste management facilities, and the structures, 
systems, and components in light-water-reactor nuclear power plants.
    This draft guide has not received complete staff approval and does 
not represent an official NRC staff position.
    Comments may be accompanied by relevant information or supporting 
data. Written comments may be submitted to the Rules and Directives 
Branch, Office of Administration, U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission,
