NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION


Regulatory Guide; Issuance, Availability

    The Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) has issued three 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 NRC's 
regulations, techniques used by the staff in its review of applications 
for permits and licenses, and data needed by the NRC staff in its 
review of applications for permits and licenses.
    Regulatory Guide 1.195, ``Methods and Assumptions for Evaluating 
Radiological Consequences of Design Basis Accidents at Light-Water 
Nuclear Power Reactors,'' provides guidance to licensees of operating 
power reactors on methods and assumptions for performing evaluations of 
fission product releases and radiological consequences of several 
postulated light-water reactor design basis accidents.
    Regulatory Guide 1.196, ``Control Room Habitability at Light-Water 
Nuclear Power Reactors,'' provides guidance and criteria acceptable to 
the NRC staff for implementing the NRC's regulations regarding control 
room habitability.
    Regulatory Guide 1.197, ``Demonstrating Control Room Envelope 
Integrity at Nuclear Power Reactors,'' provides an approach acceptable 
to the NRC staff for measuring inleakage into the control room and 
associated rooms and areas at nuclear power reactors.
    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,
