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 1.53, ``Application of the Single-
Failure Criterion to Safety Systems,'' provides guidance on methods 
acceptable to the NRC staff for satisfying the NRC's regulations with 
respect to the application of the single-failure criterion to the 
electrical power, instrumentation, and control portions of nuclear 
power plant safety systems. This Revision 2 supersedes the recently 
issued Revision 1, as an incorrect version of the guide was 
inadvertently issued as Revision 1.
    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, 
Washington DC 20555. Questions on the content of this guide may be 
directed to Mr. S.K. Aggarwal, (301) 415-6005; e-mail [email protected].
    Regulatory guides are available for inspection or downloading at 
the NRC's Web site at //[email protected] under Regulatory 
Guides and in NRC's Electronic Reading Room (ADAMS System) at the same 
site. Single copies of regulatory guides may be obtained free of charge
