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 4.1, ``Radiological Environmental 
Monitoring for Nuclear Power Plants,'' was issued with a temporary 
identification as Draft Regulatory Guide, DG-4013. This guide describes 
a method that the staff of the NRC considers acceptable for use in 
establishing and conducting an environmental monitoring program at 
nuclear power plants. The guide describes programs for preoperational
