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.
Regulatory Guide 1.216,
‘‘Containment Structural Integrity
Evaluation for Internal Pressure
Loadings Above Design-Basis Pressure,’’
was issued with a temporary
identification as Draft Regulatory Guide,
DG–1203. This guide describes methods
that the NRC staff considers acceptable
for (1) predicting the internal pressure
capacity for containment structures
above the design-basis accident
pressure, (2) demonstrating containment
structural integrity related to
combustible gas control, and (3)
demonstrating containment structural
integrity to meet the Commission’s
performance goals related to the
prevention and mitigation of severe
accidents. It provides guidance on
methods for satisfying requirements in
Title 10 of the Code of Federal
Regulations (10 CFR) Part 52, ‘‘Licenses,
Certifications, and Approvals for
Nuclear Power Plants.’’ Requirements in
10 CFR 52.47, ‘‘Contents of
Applications; Technical Information,’’
and in 10 CFR 52.79, ‘‘Contents of
Applications; Technical Information in
Final Safety Analysis Report [FSAR],’’
relate to the structural integrity of
containments under internal
pressurization that pertain to the
containment structural capacity above
design-basis pressures, to combustible
gas control, and to the prevention and
mitigation of severe accidents. This
guidance is intended to be consistent
with the Commission’s goals and other
related guidance, as discussed in the
remainder of this section. This
regulatory guide does not address
requirements and guidance for the
structural evaluation of containments
for design-basis pressure.
II. Further Information
In December 2008, DG–1203 was
published with a public comment
period of 60 days from the issuance of
the guide. The public comment period
closed on February 9, 2009. The staff’s
responses to the public comments
received are located in the NRC’s
Agencywide Documents Access and
Management System under Accession
Number ML092800554. The regulatory
analysis may be found in ADAMS under
Accession No. ML101890047. Electronic
copies of RG 1.216 are available through

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Introduction
The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC or Commission) is
issuing a new 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 NRC staff for
implementing specific
[[Page 48382]]
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.
Regulatory Guide 1.216, ``Containment Structural Integrity
Evaluation for Internal Pressure Loadings Above Design-Basis
Pressure,'' was issued with a temporary identification as Draft
Regulatory Guide, DG-1203. This guide describes methods that the NRC
staff considers acceptable for (1) predicting the internal pressure
capacity for containment structures above the design-basis accident
pressure, (2) demonstrating containment structural integrity related to
combustible gas control, and (3) demonstrating containment structural
integrity to meet the Commission's performance goals related to the
prevention and mitigation of severe accidents. It provides guidance on
methods for satisfying requirements in Title 10 of the Code of Federal
Regulations (10 CFR) Part 52, ``Licenses, Certifications, and Approvals
for Nuclear Power Plants.'' Requirements in 10 CFR 52.47, ``Contents of
Applications; Technical Information,'' and in 10 CFR 52.79, ``Contents
of Applications; Technical Information in Final Safety Analysis Report
[FSAR],'' relate to the structural integrity of containments under
internal pressurization that pertain to the containment structural
capacity above design-basis pressures, to combustible gas control, and
to the prevention and mitigation of severe accidents. This guidance is
intended to be consistent with the Commission's goals and other related
guidance, as discussed in the remainder of this section. This
regulatory guide does not address requirements and guidance for the
structural evaluation of containments for design-basis pressure.
II. Further Information
In December 2008, DG-1203 was published with a public comment
period of 60 days from the issuance of the guide. The public comment
period closed on February 9, 2009. The staff's responses to the public
comments received are located in the NRC's Agencywide Documents Access
