NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION


Draft Regulatory Guide; Issuance, Availability

    The Nuclear Regulatory Commission has issued for public comment 
drafts of two new guides in its Regulatory Guide Series. Regulatory 
Guides are 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 guides are temporarily identified by their task numbers, 
DG-1114 and DG-1115, which should be mentioned in all correspondence 
concerning these draft guides. Draft Regulatory Guide DG-1114, 
``Control Room Habitability at Light-Water Nuclear Power Reactors,'' is 
being developed to provide guidance and criteria acceptable to the NRC 
staff for implementing the NRC's regulations regarding control room 
habitability.
    Draft Regulatory Guide DG-1115, ``Demonstrating Control Room 
Envelope Integrity at Nuclear Power Reactors,'' is being developed to 
provide guidance acceptable to the NRC staff for performing periodic 
verification of inleakage into the control room. These inleakage values 
are used to assure that the control room will be habitable during 
normal and accident conditions.
    These draft guides have not received complete staff approval and do 
not represent official NRC staff positions.
    Comments may be accompanied by relevant information or supporting 
data. Written comments may be submitted by mail to the Rules and 
Directives Branch, Office of Administration, U.S. Nuclear Regulatory 
Commission, Washington, DC 20555; or they may be hand-delivered to the 
Rules and Directives Branch, ADM, at 11555 Rockville Pike, Rockville, 
MD. Copies of comments received may be examined at the NRC Public 
Document Room, 11555 Rockville Pike, Rockville, MD. Comments will be 
most helpful if received by June 28, 2002.

Web site through the NRC home page, http://www.nrc.gov. This site
