Statistical Terminology and Notation for Special Nuclear Materials Control and Accountability
Document Number: 2016-26911
Type: Notice
Date: 2016-11-08
Agency: Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Agencies and Commissions
The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is withdrawing Regulatory Guide (RG) 5.3, ``Statistical Terminology and Notation for Special Nuclear Materials Control and Accountability,'' that was issued in 1973. This document is being withdrawn in part because regulatory guidance is not needed for common statistical terminology and notation information that is commonly used in the field of statistics. Further, RG 5.3 provided guidance on the term ``limits of error'' as defined in the NRC's regulations. This term is no longer a defined regulatory term and is no longer used by the NRC except in certain transaction reports. Also, RG 5.3 endorsed a 1972 American National Standards Institute (ANSI) standard that was later withdrawn. Therefore, the NRC finds that RG 5.3 is obsolete.
