SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Background
Draft regulatory guide DG-1141 describes practices and criteria
that the staff of the NRC considers acceptable for compliance with NRC
requirements for ensuring that setpoints for safety related instruments
are initially within, and should remain within, technical specification
limits. This DG also presents practices and criteria for establishing
those technical specification limits and ensuring that those limits
will adequately support the proper operation of the associated
systems--that is, that establishing and maintaining setpoints in
accordance with those limits will provide adequate assurance that a
plant will operate as described in the plant safety analyses.
II. Public Meeting
The public meeting will be held in North Bethesda, Maryland, at
11601 Landsdown Street in conference room 1C05 of the 3 White Flint
North building adjacent to the White Flint metro station.
