From this page, the public can gain entry into ADAMS, which provides text and image files of NRC’s public documents. If you do not have access to ADAMS or if there are problems in accessing the documents located in ADAMS, contact the NRC’s PDR reference staff at 1–800–397–4209, 301–415–4737, or by e-mail to pdr.resource@nrc.gov. The proposed draft test plan ‘‘Project Plan—FireInduced Failure Modes and Effects Testing of Direct Current Driven Control Cables,’’ is available electronically under ADAMS Accession Number ML082520518. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Gabriel Taylor, Fire Research Branch, Division of Risk Analysis, Office of Nuclear Regulatory Research, telephone (301) 415–3166, e-mail gabriel.taylor@nrc.gov. There are several characteristics associated with DC control circuits that are unique as compared to AC control circuits. It is because of these unique characteristics that the extrapolation of the AC circuit test results to DC circuits introduces significant uncertainty. Cable failure modes and effects for DC control circuits may differ significantly from the corresponding behaviors in AC circuits. In order to assess behavioral differences and reduce analysis uncertainty, it is necessary to conduct tests using DC circuits. Previous fire-induced testing has focused on determining the failure characteristics of alternating current circuits, with only a limited amount of SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: data on direct current (DC) circuits. The purpose of the Draft Test Plan entitled ‘‘Draft Project Plan for Fire-Induced Failure Modes and Effects Testing of Direct Current Driven Control Circuit Cables,’’ is to provide a structured plan for conducting a large number of circuit integrity tests to meet the objective of providing data on spurious actuations related to risk-significant DC circuits typically encountered in nuclear power plants. The NRC is seeking public comment in order to receive feedback from the widest range of interested parties and to ensure that all information relevant to developing this document is available to the NRC staff. This document is issued for comment only and is not intended for interim use. The NRC will review public comments received on the documents, incorporate suggested changes as necessary, and make the final test plan available to the public through ADAMS.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: I. Introduction The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is withdrawing Regulatory Guide 8.1, ‘‘Radiation Symbol,’’ published February 2, 1973. The NRC is withdrawing this regulatory guide because it is no longer required. Regulatory Guide 8.1 references Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations, Subsection 20.203 (10 CFR 20.203), which has been deleted from the CFR. The current regulations for the radiation symbol are found in 10 CFR 20.1901, ‘‘Caution Signs.’’ The guide is no longer required because the current regulations in 10 CFR 20.1901(a) provide a specific description for the design of the approved trefoil radiation symbol. The instructions in 10 CFR 20.1901(a) are sufficient and no additional guidance is needed. Regulatory Guide 8.1 is a one-page guide that endorses American National Standards Institute (ANSI) Standard N2.1–1969, ‘‘Radiation Symbol,’’ dated October 27, 1969. This standard was revised in 1989 and issued as ANSI N2.1–1989. It was later withdrawn in accordance with the ANSI policy not to extend a standard’s period of endorsement beyond 10 years and it has not been replaced. ebenthall on PROD1PC60 with NOTICES II.
