NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION
Office of New Reactors; Notice of Availability of the Final
Interim Staff Guidance DC/COL-ISG-01 on Seismic Issues Associated With
High Frequency Ground Motion
AGENCY: Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC).
ACTION: Notice of availability.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The NRC is issuing its Final Interim Staff Guidance (ISG) DC/
COL-ISG-01. This DC/COL-ISG provides guidance on Seismic Issues
associated with High Frequency (HF) Ground Motion for Design
Certification (DC) and Combined License (COL) applicants. Moreover,
this COL/DC-ISG describes how the staff will review seismic issues
associated with HF ground motion as addressed in DC applications and
COL applications.
Disposition: The draft form of the ISG was published for public
comments on August 16, 2007 (ML072200566). The staff received industry
comments dated September 12, 2007. This revised version incorporated
changes resulting from the disposition of the industry comments and as
a result of discussions at the December 20, 2007 and the February 13,
2008 meetings (ML080560592).
The NRC staff issues DC/COL-ISGs to facilitate timely
implementation of the current staff guidance and to facilitate
activities associated with review of applications for DC and COLs by
the Office of New Reactors. The NRC staff will also incorporate the
approved DC/COL-ISGs into the next revision of review guidance
documents used by the Office of New Reactors.
