NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION


Draft Regulatory Guide; Issuance, Availability

    The Nuclear Regulatory Commission has issued for public comment a 
proposed revision of 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 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-1098 
(which should be mentioned in all correspondence concerning this draft 
guide), is titled ``Safety-Related Concrete Structures for Nuclear 
Power Plants (Other than Reactor Vessels and Containments.)'' This 
guide is being revised to propose guidance on methods acceptable to the 
NRC staff for complying with the NRC's regulations on the design, 
evaluation, and quality assurance of safety-related nuclear concrete 
structures, excluding concrete reactor vessels and concrete 
containments.
    This draft guide has not received complete staff approval and does 
not represent an official NRC staff position.
