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 1.189, ``Fire Protection for Operating Nuclear 
Power Plants,'' has been developed to provide a comprehensive fire 
protection guidance document and to identify the scope and depth of 
fire protection that the NRC staff has determined to be acceptable for 
operating nuclear plants.
    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 web site at WWW.NRC.GOV> under Regulatory Guides and in NRC's 
Electronic Reading Room (ADAMS System) at the same site; Regulatory 
Guide 1.189 has Accession Number ML010920084. Single copies of
