Introduction The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is issuing for public comment a draft 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) is temporarily identified by its task number, DG–1217, which should be mentioned in all related correspondence. DG–1217 is proposed Revision 2 of Regulatory Guide 1.115, Revision 1, dated July 1977. This guide describes methods acceptable to the NRC staff for protecting safety-related structures, systems, and components against missiles resulting from turbine failure by the appropriate orientation and placement of the turbine-generator set, the management of the probability of turbine missile generation, and the use of missile barriers. General Design Criterion 4, ‘‘Environmental and Dynamic Effects Design Bases,’’ of Appendix A, ‘‘General Design Criteria for Nuclear Power PO 00000 Frm 00103 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 Plants,’’ to Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR) Part 50, ‘‘Domestic Licensing of Production and Utilization Facilities,’’ requires, in part, that structures, systems, and components important to safety be appropriately protected against the effects of missiles that might result from equipment failures. Failures that could occur in the large steam turbines of the main turbine-generator sets have the potential for producing large highenergy missiles. II. Further Information The NRC staff is soliciting comments on DG–1217. Comments may be accompanied by relevant information or supporting data and should mention DG–1217 in the subject line. Comments submitted in writing or in electronic form will be made available to the public in their entirety through the NRC’s Agencywide Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS). Because your comments will not be edited to remove any identifying or contact information, the NRC cautions you against including any information in your submission that you do not want to be publicly disclosed. The NRC requests that any party soliciting or aggregating comments received from other persons for submission to the NRC inform those persons that the NRC will not edit their comments to remove any identifying or contact information, and therefore, they should not include any information in their comments that they do not want publicly disclosed. You may submit comments by any of the following methods: 1.

Introduction The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is issuing a revision 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 VerDate Nov<24>2008 17:03 Oct 30, 2009 Jkt 220001 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 1.189, ‘‘Fire Protection for Nuclear Power Plants,’’ was issued with a temporary identification as Draft Regulatory Guide, DG–1214. The NRC staff developed this regulatory guide to provide a comprehensive fire protection guidance document and to identify the scope and depth of fire protection program (FPP) that the staff would consider acceptable for nuclear power plants. This revision incorporates guidance developed to address and close previously unresolved issues including spurious actuation of components as a result of fire affecting electrical circuits. The regulatory framework that the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) has established for nuclear plant FPPs consists of a number of regulations and supporting guidelines, including, but not limited to, Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations, Part 50, ‘‘Domestic Licensing of Production and Utilization Facilities,’’ (10 CFR part 50), Appendix A, ‘‘General Design Criteria for Nuclear Power Plants,’’ General Design Criterion (GDC) 3, ‘‘Fire Protection’’; 10 CFR 50.48, ‘‘Fire Protection’’; Appendix R, ‘‘Fire Protection Program for Nuclear Power Facilities Operating Prior to January 1, 1979,’’ to 10 CFR part 50; regulatory guides; generic communications (e.g., generic letters [GLs], regulatory issue summaries [RISs], bulletins, and information notices [INs]); NUREG– series reports, including NUREG–0800, ‘‘Standard Review Plan [SRP] for the Review of Safety Analysis Reports for Nuclear Power Plants’’; and industry standards. Not all fire protection regulations promulgated by the NRC apply to all plants. Regulatory guides do not always refer to regulations as requirements. Licensees should refer to their plant-specific licensing bases to determine the applicability of a specific regulation to a specific plant. II. Further Information In April 2009, DG–1214 was published with a public comment period of 60 days from the issuance of the guide. The public comment period closed on May 29, 2009. The staff’s responses to the public comments are located in NRC’s Agencywide Documents Access and Management System under accession number ML092580570. The regulatory analysis included within DG–1214 is valid and PO 00000 Frm 00104 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 56673 applicable to the issue of this revision. Electronic copies of Regulatory Guide 1.189, Revision 2 are available through the NRC’s public Web site under ‘‘Regulatory Guides’’ at https:// www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/doccollections/. In addition, regulatory guides are available for inspection at the NRC’s Public Document Room (PDR) located at Room O–1F21, One White Flint North, 11555 Rockville Pike, Rockville, Maryland 20852–2738.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Introduction

    The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is issuing for public 
comment a draft 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) is temporarily identified by its 
task number, DG-1217, which should be mentioned in all related 
correspondence. DG-1217 is proposed Revision 2 of Regulatory Guide 
1.115, Revision 1, dated July 1977.
    This guide describes methods acceptable to the NRC staff for 
protecting safety-related structures, systems, and components against 
missiles resulting from turbine failure by the appropriate orientation 
and placement of the turbine-generator set, the management of the 
probability of turbine missile generation, and the use of missile 
barriers.
    General Design Criterion 4, ``Environmental and Dynamic Effects 
Design Bases,'' of Appendix A, ``General Design Criteria for Nuclear 
Power Plants,'' to Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR) 
Part 50, ``Domestic Licensing of Production and Utilization 
Facilities,'' requires, in part, that structures, systems, and 
components important to safety be appropriately protected against the 
effects of missiles that might result from equipment failures. Failures 
that could occur in the large steam turbines of the main turbine-
generator sets have the potential for producing large high-energy 
missiles.
