Issuance and Availability of Draft Regulatory Guide

AGENCY: Nuclear Regulatory Commission.

ACTION: Notice of issuance and availability of Draft Regulatory Guide 
1211.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Wallace E. Norris, Division of 
Engineering, Office of Nuclear Regulatory Research, U.S. Nuclear 
Regulatory Commission, Washington, DC 20555-0001, telephone (301) 251-

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Introduction

    The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is issuing for public 
comment a draft regulatory guide in the agency's ``Regulatory Guide'' 
series. This series was developed to describe and make available to the 
public such information as methods that are acceptable to the NRC staff 
for implementing specific parts of the NRC'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.
    The draft regulatory guide (DG), titled, ``Materials and 
Inspections for Reactor Vessel Closure Studs,'' is temporarily 
identified by its task number, DG-1211, which should be mentioned in 
all related correspondence. DG-1211 is the proposed Revision 1 of 
Regulatory Guide 1.65.
    General Design Criterion 1, ``Quality Standards and Records,'' of 
Appendix A, ``General Design Criteria for Nuclear Power Plants,'' to 
Title 10, Part 50, ``Domestic Licensing of Production and Utilization 
Facilities,'' of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR part 50), 
requires, in part, that structures, systems, and components important 
to safety be designed, fabricated, erected, and tested to quality 
standards commensurate with the importance of the safety function to be 
performed. Where generally recognized codes and standards are used, 
Criterion 1 requires that they be identified and evaluated to determine 
their applicability, adequacy, and sufficiency and be supplemented or 
modified as necessary to ensure a quality product in keeping with the 
required safety function.
    Criterion 30, ``Quality of Reactor Coolant Pressure Boundary,'' of 
the same appendix requires, in part, that components that are part of 
the reactor coolant pressure boundary be designed, fabricated, erected, 
and tested to the highest practical quality standards.
    Criterion 31, ``Fracture Prevention of Reactor Coolant Pressure 
Boundary,'' requires, in part, that the reactor coolant pressure 
boundary be designed with sufficient margin to assure that when 
stressed under operating, maintenance, testing, and postulated accident 
conditions (1) the boundary behaves in a nonbrittle manner and (2) the 
probability of rapidly propagating fracture is minimized.
    Appendix B, ``Quality Assurance Criteria for Nuclear Power Plants 
and Fuel Reprocessing Plants,'' to 10 CFR part 50 requires, in part, 
that measures be established for the control of special processing such 
as heat treating and that proper testing be performed.
