SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: I. Introduction The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is issuing a revision E:\FR\FM\17MRN1.SGM 17MRN1 11382 Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 50 / Tuesday, March 17, 2009 / Notices dwashington3 on PROD1PC60 with NOTICES to an existing guide in the agency’s ‘‘Regulatory Guide’’ series. This series was developed to describe and make available to the public information such as methods that are acceptable to the NRC staff for implementing specific parts of the agency’s regulations, techniques that the staff uses in evaluating specific problems or postulated accidents, and data that the staff needs in its review of applications for permits and licenses. Revision 2 of Regulatory Guide 1.200, ‘‘An Approach for Determining the Technical Adequacy of Probabilistic Risk Assessment Results for RiskInformed Activities,’’ was issued with a temporary identification as Draft Regulatory Guide, DG–1200. In 1995, the NRC issued a Policy Statement on the use of probabilistic risk analysis (PRA), encouraging its use in all regulatory matters. That Policy Statement states that ‘‘ * * * the use of PRA technology should be increased to the extent supported by the state-of-theart in PRA methods and data and in a manner that complements the NRC’s deterministic approach.’’ Since that time, many uses have been implemented or undertaken, including modification of the NRC’s reactor safety inspection program and initiation of work to modify reactor safety regulations. Consequently, confidence in the information derived from a PRA is an important issue, in that the accuracy of the technical content must be sufficient to justify the specific results and insights that are used to support the decision under consideration. This regulatory guide describes one acceptable approach for determining whether the technical adequacy of the PRA, in total or the parts that are used to support an application, is sufficient to provide confidence in the results, such that the PRA can be used in regulatory decision-making for lightwater reactors. This guidance is intended to be consistent with the NRC’s PRA Policy Statement. It is also intended to reflect and endorse guidance provided by standards-setting and nuclear industry organizations.

Notice of Issuance of Regulatory Guide

AGENCY: Nuclear Regulatory Commission.

ACTION: Notice of Issuance and Availability of Regulatory Guide 1.200, 
Revision 2.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Introduction

    The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is issuing a revision

[[Page 11382]]

to an existing guide in the agency's ``Regulatory Guide'' series. This 
series was developed to describe and make available to the public 
information such as methods that are acceptable to the NRC staff for 
implementing specific parts of the agency's regulations, techniques 
that the staff uses in evaluating specific problems or postulated 
accidents, and data that the staff needs in its review of applications 
for permits and licenses.
    Revision 2 of Regulatory Guide 1.200, ``An Approach for Determining 
the Technical Adequacy of Probabilistic Risk Assessment Results for 
Risk-Informed Activities,'' was issued with a temporary identification 
as Draft Regulatory Guide, DG-1200. In 1995, the NRC issued a Policy 
Statement on the use of probabilistic risk analysis (PRA), encouraging 
its use in all regulatory matters. That Policy Statement states that `` 
* * * the use of PRA technology should be increased to the extent 
supported by the state-of-the-art in PRA methods and data and in a 
manner that complements the NRC's deterministic approach.'' Since that 
time, many uses have been implemented or undertaken, including 
modification of the NRC's reactor safety inspection program and 
initiation of work to modify reactor safety regulations. Consequently, 
confidence in the information derived from a PRA is an important issue, 
in that the accuracy of the technical content must be sufficient to 
justify the specific results and insights that are used to support the 
decision under consideration.
    This regulatory guide describes one acceptable approach for 
determining whether the technical adequacy of the PRA, in total or the 
parts that are used to support an application, is sufficient to provide 
confidence in the results, such that the PRA can be used in regulatory 
decision-making for light-water reactors. This guidance is intended to 
be consistent with the NRC's PRA Policy Statement. It is also intended 
to reflect and endorse guidance provided by standards-setting and 
nuclear industry organizations.

II. Further Information

comment period closed on December 31, 2008. The staff's responses to

Agencywide Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS) under
