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 Commission'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 1.191, ``Fire Protection Program for Nuclear Power 
Plants During Decommissioning and Permanent Shutdown,'' provides 
guidance to licensees and applicants on methods acceptable to the NRC 
staff for complying with the regulations regarding fire protection 
programs for licensees who have certified that their plants have 
permanently ceased operations and that the fuel has been permanently 
removed from the reactor vessels.
    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.rnc.gov under Regulatory Guides and in NRC's 
Electronic Reading Room (ADAMS System) at the same site; Regulatory 
Guide 1.191 is under Accession Number ML011500010. Single copies of
