Plants.'' This guide describes techniques that the staff of the NRC
considers acceptable for condition monitoring of electric cables for
nuclear power plants. RG 1.218 is not intended to be prescriptive,
instead it provides a description of many available techniques for
testing cables of various configurations typically found in a nuclear
power plant and discusses the potential suitability and known
limitations of each.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Introduction
The NRC is issuing a new guide in the NRC's ``Regulatory Guide''
series. This series was developed to describe and make available to the
public information such as methods that are acceptable to the NRC staff
for implementing specific parts of the agency's regulations, techniques
that the staff uses in evaluating specific problems or postulated
accidents, and data that the staff needs in its review of applications
for permits and licenses.
RG 1.218, ``Condition Monitoring Techniques for Electric Cables
Used in Nuclear Power Plants'', was issued for public comment with a
temporary identification as Draft Regulatory Guide, DG-1240. This guide
describes techniques that the staff of the NRC considers acceptable for
condition monitoring of electric cables for nuclear power plants. RG
1.218 is not intended to be prescriptive, instead it provides a
description of many available techniques for testing cables of various
configurations typically found in a nuclear power plant and discusses
the potential suitability and known limitations of each.
II. Further Information
DG-1240, was published in the Federal Register on June 15, 2010,
for
