10 CFR Chapter I
[NRC-2015-0167]
Withdrawal of Regulatory Issue Summary 2005-29 and its Draft
Revision 1 Anticipated Transients That Could Develop Into More Serious
Events
AGENCY: Nuclear Regulatory Commission.
ACTION: Regulatory issue summary; withdrawal.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is withdrawing
the Regulatory Issue Summary (RIS) 2005-29 and its draft Revision 1,
``Anticipated Transients that Could Develop into More Serious Events.''
These documents are being withdrawn because the NRC staff identified
several regulatory and technical positions within the RIS and draft
Revision 1 that either required clarification, were no longer
supported, or were identified as a new agency position.
DATES: The effective date of the withdrawal of the RIS 2005-29 and its
draft Revision 1, ``Anticipated Transients that Could Develop into More
Serious Events,'' is June 20, 2019.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
The NRC issued RIS 2005-29, ``Anticipated Transients that Could
Develop into More Serious Events,'' (ADAMS Accession No. ML051890212)
to notify licensees of the concern identified during reviews of power
uprate license amendment requests related to licensing bases of certain
licensees failing to demonstrate that anticipated transients will not
progress to more serious events. The draft Revision 1 of RIS 2005-29
expanded on this concern and offered staff positions that provided
technical guidance for the implementation of NRC regulation (ADAMS
Accession No. ML15014A469). The NRC is withdrawing RIS 2005-29, and its
draft Revision 1, because the staff identified several regulatory and
technical positions within the documents that either required
clarification, were no longer supported, or were identified as a new
agency position. By memorandum, dated May 15, 2019, the NRC staff
provides a summary of the basis for withdrawing RIS 2005-29, and its
draft Revision 1 (ADAMS Accession No. ML19121A534).
The NRC's generic communication website (https://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/doc-collections/gen-comm/reg-issues/2005/) will be updated
to reflect RIS 2005-29 as withdrawn.
Dated at Rockville, Maryland, this 12th day of June 2019.
For the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.
Tekia V. Govan,
Project Manager, ROP Support and Generic Communication Branch,
Division of Inspection and Regional Support, Office of Nuclear Reactor
Regulation.
