NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION


Regulatory Guide; Issuance, Availability

    The Nuclear Regulatory Commission has issued revisions of two 
guides 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.
    Revision 3 of Regulatory Guide 1.52, ``Design, Inspection, and 
Testing Criteria for Air Filtration and Adsorption Units of Post-
Accident Engineered-Safety-Feature Atmosphere Cleanup Systems in Light-
Water-Cooled Nuclear Power Plants,'' describes methods acceptable to 
the NRC staff for complying with the NRC's regulations with regard to 
the design, inspection, and testing criteria for air filtration and 
iodine adsorption units of engineered-safety-feature atmosphere cleanup 
systems in light-water-cooled nuclear power plants. This guide applies 
only to post-accident atmosphere cleanup systems that are designed to 
mitigate the consequences of postulated accidents.
    Revision 2 of Regulatory Guide 1.140, ``Design, Inspection, and 
Testing Criteria for Air Filtration and Adsorption Units of Normal 
Atmosphere Cleanup Systems in Light-Water-Cooled Nuclear Power 
Plants,'' describes methods acceptable to the NRC staff for complying 
with the NRC's regulations with regard to the criteria for air 
filtration and adsorption units installed in the normal ventilation 
exhaust systems of light-water-cooled nuclear power 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,

    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; Revision 3 of 
Regulatory Guide 1.52 is under ADAMS Accession Number ML011710176; 
Revision 2 of Regulatory Guide 1.140 is under ADAMS Accession Number 
ML011710150. Single copies of regulatory guides may be obtained free of
