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
