NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION
Office of New Reactors; Notice of Availability of the Final
Interim Staff Guidance DC/COL-ISG-05 on the Use of the GALE86 Code for
Calculation of Routine Radioactive Releases in Gaseous and Liquid
Effluents
AGENCY: Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC).
ACTION: Notice of availability.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The NRC is issuing its Final Interim Staff Guidance (ISG) DC/
COL-ISG-05 (ADAMS Accession No. ML081710264). This interim staff
guidance supplements the guidance provided to the staff in Chapter 11,
``Radioactive Waste Management,'' of NUREG-0800, ``Standard Review Plan
for the Review of Safety Analysis Reports for Nuclear Power Plants,''
concerning the review of radioactive releases in gaseous and liquid
effluents (GALE) to support design certification (DC) and combined
license (COL) applications. This guidance provides a clarification on
the use of a newer version of the boiling-water reactor and
pressurized-water reactors GALE codes that is not referenced in the
current NRC guidance.
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 to the review guidance
documents for applications for new reactors, RG 1.206 and RG 1.112.
Disposition: On March 19, 2008, the staff issued the proposed ISG
``Use of the GALE86 Code for Calculation of Routine Radioactive
Releases in Gaseous and Liquid Effluents to Support Design
Certification and Combined License Applications,'' (COL/DC-ISG-005)
(ADAMS Accession No. ML080650651) to solicit public and industry
comment. The staff did not receive any comments on the draft ISG.
Therefore, the ISG is now being issued for use.
ADDRESSES: The NRC maintains an Agencywide Documents Access and
Management System (ADAMS), which provides text and image files of NRC's
public documents. These documents may be accessed through the NRC's
Public Electronic Reading Room on the Internet at http://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/adams.html. Persons who do not have access to ADAMS or who
encounter problems in accessing the documents located in ADAMS should
contact the NRC Public Document Room reference staff at 1-800-397-4209,
301-415-4737, or by e-mail at [email protected].
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mr. Timothy J. Frye, Chief, Health
Physics Branch, Division of Construction, Inspection, & Operational
Programs, Office of the New Reactors, U.S. Nuclear Regulatory
Commission, Washington, DC 20555-0001; telephone 301-415-3900 or e-mail
at [email protected].
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The agency posts its issued staff guidance
on the agency external Web page (http://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/doc-collections/isg/).
