NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION
Office of New Reactors;
Interim Staff Guidance on Evaluation and Acceptance Criteria for 10
CFR 20.1406 to Support Design Certification and Combined License
Applications
AGENCY: Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC).
ACTION: Solicitation of public comment.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The NRC is soliciting public comment on its Proposed Interim
Staff Guidance (ISG) DC/COL-ISG-06 (ADAMS Accession No. ML081850160).
This ISG is to clarify the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC)
position on what is an acceptable level of detail and content for
demonstrating compliance with Title 10 of the Code of Federal
Regulations Section 20.1406 (10 CFR 20.1406). Regulatory Guide (RG)
4.21, ``Minimization of Contamination and Waste Generation: Life Cycle
Planning,'' provides an acceptable method of demonstrating compliance.
This ISG provides further clarification on the evaluation and
acceptance criteria that will be used by NRC staff in reaching a
reasonable assurance finding that a Design Certification (DC) or
Combined License (COL) applicant has complied with the requirements of
10 CFR 20.1406. 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-ISG-006 into the next revision of the Standard Review
Plan and related guidance documents.
DATES: Comments must be filed no later than 30 days from the date of
publication of this notice in the Federal Register . Comments received
after this date will be considered, if it is practical to do so, but
the Commission is able to ensure consideration only for comments
received on or before this date.
