NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION


Regulatory Guide; Issuance, Availability

    The Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) has issued a revision of a 
guide 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.
    Revision 2 of Regulatory Guide 1.132, ``Site Investigations for 
Foundations of Nuclear Power Plants,'' describes field investigations 
for determining the geological, engineering, and hydrogeological 
characteristics of a prospective plant site. It also provides guidance 
to licensees and applicants on developing geologic information on 
stratigraphy, lithology, and structure of the site.
    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
