NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION
[NRC-2018-0134]
Fuel Cycle Safety, Safeguards, and Environmental Review Interim
Staff Guidance
AGENCY: Nuclear Regulatory Commission.
ACTION: Interim staff guidance; withdrawal.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is announcing the
withdrawal of several Interim Staff Guidance (ISG) documents associated
with fuel cycle facilities. These documents are being withdrawn because
the guidance contained in the documents have since been incorporated
into NUREG-1520, ``Standard Review Plan for Fuel Cycle Facilities
License Applications.''
DATES: The withdrawal of the Fuel Cycle Safety, Safeguards, and
Environmental Review ISG documents were issued on December 4, 2018.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Background
The NRC is withdrawing select Fuel Cycle Safety, Safeguards, and
Environmental Review ISG documents because the content was incorporated
in NUREG-1520, ``Standard Review Plan for Fuel Cycle Facilities License
Applications'' (ADAMS Accession No. ML15176A258). The content in NUREG-
1520 supersedes the original ISG and therefore these documents are
being withdrawn. In some instances, the ISG was incorporated in its
entirety and at other times only sections that were still relevant at
the date of publish were included. The following ISG documents are
being withdrawn:
FCSS-ISG-01, ``Qualitative Criteria for Evaluation of Likelihood''
(ADAMS Accession No. ML051520236), was incorporated in NUREG-1520,
Chapter 3, Appendix B, ``Qualitative Criteria for Evaluation of
Likelihood.''
FCSS-ISG-03, ``Nuclear Criticality Safety Performance Requirements
and Double Contingency Principle'' (ADAMS Accession No. ML050690302),
was incorporated in NUREG-1520, Chapter 5, Appendix A, ``Nuclear
Criticality Performance Requirements and Double-Contingency
Principle.''
FCSS-ISG-05, ``Additional Reporting Requirements of 10 CFR 70.74''
(ADAMS Accession No. ML053630228), is superseded by NUREG-1520, Chapter
5, Section 5.4.1, ``Nuclear Criticality Safety; Acceptance Criteria;
Regulatory Requirements.''
FCSS-ISG-08, ``Natural Phenomena Hazards'' (ADAMS Accession No.
ML052650305), was incorporated into NUREG-1520, Chapter 3, Appendix D,
``Natural Phenomena Hazards.''
FCSS-ISG-09, ``Initiating Event Frequencies'' (ADAMS Accession No.
ML051520323), was incorporated into NUREG-1520, Chapter 3, Appendix C,
``Initiating Event Frequency.''
FCSS-ISG-10, ``Justification for Minimum Margin of Subcriticality
for Safety'' (ADAMS Accession No. ML061650370), was incorporated into
NUREG-1520, Chapter 5, Appendix B, ``Justification for Minimum Margin
of Subcriticality for Safety.''
