SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In early 2003, the Commission directed the NRC staff to complete the technical basis and move forward with rulemaking to establish improved, performance-based ECCS acceptance criteria in 10 CFR 50.46(b), ‘‘Acceptance Criteria for Emergency Core Cooling Systems for Light-Water Nuclear Power Reactors.’’ The NRC sponsored an extensive research and testing program at Argonne National Laboratory (ANL) to develop the body of technical information needed to support the new regulations. This information has been summarized in RIL 0801 and the detailed experimental results are contained in NUREG/CR–6967. Because of the importance of this regulation, the staff has decided to release the technical documentation for domestic and international public comment. With this approach, the NRC can address stakeholder questions and respond to comments early in the process. The E:\FR\FM\31JYN1.SGM 31JYN1
