ACTION: Notice of availability. Dated at Rockville, Maryland, this 27th day of January 2010. SUMMARY: The NRC is issuing its Final Interim Staff Guidance (ISG) ESP/DC/ COL–ISG–015 (Agencywide Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS) Accession No. ML093561416). This ISG supplements the guidance provided to the NRC staff in Section 1.0, ‘‘Introduction and Interfaces,’’ of NUREG–0800, ‘‘Standard Review Plan for the Review of Safety Analysis Reports for Nuclear Power Plants,’’ concerning the review of applications to support early site permit (ESP), design certification (DC) and combined license (COL) applications. In addition, this ISG supplements the guidance provided in Section C.III.4 of Regulatory Guide (RG) 1.206, ‘‘Regulatory Guide for Combined License Applications for Nuclear Power Plants,’’ June 2007. The NRC staff issues ISGs to facilitate timely implementation of the current staff guidance and to facilitate activities associated with review of applications for ESPs, DCs, and COLs by the Office of New Reactors. The NRC staff will also incorporate the approved ISGs into the next revision to the review guidance documents for new reactor applications. Disposition: On October 27, 2009, the NRC staff issued the proposed ISG, ESP/ DC/COL–ISG–015 ‘‘Post-Combined License Commitments,’’ (ADAMS Accession No. ML091671355) to solicit public and industry comment. The NRC staff received comments (ADAMS Accession No. ML093430227) on the proposed guidance on November 24, 2009. These comments were further discussed in a public meeting held by the NRC on December 17, 2009. This final issuance incorporates changes from the majority of the comments and the discussions at the public meeting. A discussion and slide presentation on ESP/DC/COL–ISG–015 held during the public meeting on December 17, 2009, There is a movement to introduce risk-informed and performance-based (RI/PB) analyses into fire protection engineering practice. This movement exists in both the general fire protection and the nuclear power plant (NPP) fire protection communities. The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) has used risk-informed insights as a part of its regulatory decision making since the 1990s. In 2002, the National Fire Protection Association developed NFPA 805, Performance-Based Standard for Fire Protection for Light-Water Reactor Electric Generating Plants. In July 2004, the NRC amended its fire protection requirements in Title 10, Section 50.48, of the Code of Federal Regulations to permit existing reactor licensees to voluntarily adopt fire protection requirements contained in NFPA 805 as an alternative to the existing deterministic requirements. NUREG– 1934 (EPRI 1019195), ‘‘Nuclear Power Plant Fire Modeling Application Guide, Draft Report for Comment’’ was written as a collaborative effort by the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) Office of Nuclear Regulatory Research (RES), the Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI), and the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) to provide guidance on using fire modeling for nuclear power plant applications. The features and limitations of the five fire models documented in NUREG–1824 (EPRI 1011999), Verification & Validation of Selected Fire Models for Nuclear Power Plant Applications are discussed relative to NPP applications. Finally, the report describes the implications of verified and validated (V&V) fire models that can reliably predict the consequences of fires.
