II. Further Information
The NRC seeks public comment on a proposed new section of SRP
Section 19.3, ``Regulatory Treatment of Non-Safety Systems (RTNSS) for
Passive Advanced Light Water Reactors.'' This section has been
developed to assist NRC staff with the review of applications for
certain construction permits, early site permits, licenses, license
amendments, and combined licenses and to inform new reactor applicants
and other affected entities of proposed SRP guidance regarding an
acceptable method by which to evaluate guidance on application review
on the subject of loss of large areas of the plant due to explosions
and fires. Following NRC staff evaluation of public comments, the NRC
intends to incorporate the final approved guidance into the next
revision of NUREG-0800.
Dated at Rockville, Maryland, this 4th day of October 2012.
