NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION


Draft Regulatory Guide; Issuance, Availability

    The Nuclear Regulatory Commission has issued for public comment a 
proposed revision of a guide 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 guide is temporarily identified by its task number, DG-
1118, which should be mentioned in all correspondence concerning this 
draft guide. Draft Regulatory Guide DG-1118, the Proposed Revision 1 of 
Regulatory Guide 1.53, ``Application of the Single-Failure Criterion to 
Safety Systems,'' is being developed to describe a method acceptable to 
the NRC staff for complying with the NRC's regulations with respect to 
satisfying the single-failure criterion for safety systems.
