Week of February 1, 2010
There are no meetings scheduled for
the week of February 1, 2010.
Finding of No Significant Impact
On the basis of the environmental
assessment, the NRC concludes that the
proposed action will not have a
significant effect on the quality of the
human environment. Accordingly, the
NRC has determined not to prepare an
environmental impact statement for the
proposed action.
For further details with respect to the
proposed action, see the licensee’s letter
dated November 6, 2009, as
supplemented by letter dated January
11, 2010. Portions of the November 6,
2009, submittal contain safeguards and
security sensitive information and,
accordingly, are not available to the
public. Other parts of these documents

NUCLEAR REGULATORY
COMMISSION
Office of New Reactors; Final Interim
Staff Guidance on Post-Combined
License Commitments
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
AGENCY: Nuclear Regulatory
Commission (NRC).
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.
