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 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 1.190, ``Calculational and Dosimetry Methods for 
Determining Pressure Vessel Neutron Fluence,'' has been developed to 
provide guidance to licensees on state-of-the-art calculations and 
measurement procedures that are acceptable to the NRC staff for 
determining pressure vessel fluence.
    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
