NRC staff review and would not be
reviewed as a part of the CLIIP. This
may increase the time and resources
needed for the review or result in NRC
staff rejection of the LAR. Licensees
desiring significant deviations or
additional changes should instead
submit an LAR that does not claim to
adopt TSTF–514, Revision 3.

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
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 5.80, ‘‘PressureSensitive and Tamper-Indicating Device
Seals for Material Control and
Accounting of Special Nuclear
Material,’’ was issued with a temporary
identification as Draft Regulatory Guide,
DG–5029. This regulatory guide replaces
the existing RG 5.10, ‘‘Selection and Use
of Pressure-Sensitive Seals on
VerDate Mar<15>2010
16:45 Dec 16, 2010
Jkt 223001
Containers for Onsite Storage of Special
Nuclear Material,’’ issued July 1973, and
the existing RG 5.15, ‘‘TamperIndicating Seals for the Protection and
Control of Special Nuclear Material,’’
issued March 1997, with a new
regulatory guide titled, ‘‘PressureSensitive and Tamper-Indicating Device
Seals for MC&A Use.’’ As a replacement,
this guide describes a number of
improved tamper-indicating devices
(TIDs) and pressure-sensitive (PS) seals
developed in recent years, primarily in
response to commercial interests
outside the nuclear industry. This
guide, among other things, distinguishes
between genuine and nongenuine
manufactured seals and stresses serial
number identification to aid in the
control of material or to alert shipping
and receiving personnel to containers
that were opened in transit. This guide
also incorporates suggestions for
ensuring that TIDs are properly applied.
In June 2009, DG–5029 was published
with a public comment period of 60
days from the issuance of the guide. The
public comment period closed on
October 13, 2009. The staff’s responses
to the public comments received can be
located in the NRC’s Agencywide
Documents Access and Management
System (ADAMS) under Accession
Number ML101810238. The regulatory
analysis may be found in ADAMS under
Accession Number ML101800517.
Electronic copies of RG 5.80 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
11555 Rockville Pike, Rockville,
Maryland. The PDR’s mailing address is
USNRC PDR, Washington, DC 20555–

telephone at 301–415–4737 or 1–800–

by e-mail to pdr.resource@nrc.gov.
Regulatory guides are not
copyrighted, and Commission approval
is not required to reproduce them.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. 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
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 1 of Regulatory Guide 3.12,
‘‘General Design Guide for Ventilation
Systems of Plutonium Processing and
Fuel Fabrication Plant,’’ was issued with
a temporary identification as Draft
Regulatory Guide, DG–3034. This guide
describes a method that the staff of the
NRC considers acceptable for use in
complying with Title 10, § 70.23(a)(3),
of the Code of Federal Regulations (10
CFR 70.23(a)(3)), and 10 CFR 70.23(a)(4)
on the design of ventilation systems for
plutonium processing and fuel
fabrication plants. At plutonium
processing and fuel fabrication plants, a
principal risk to health and safety is the
release and dispersal of radioactive
materials. The prevention of such
release and dispersal is an important
function of the ventilation systems. To
meet these objectives, this guide
provides recommendations for
achieving defense in depth and for
minimizing the release of radioactive
materials to the environment.
Each applicant for a license to possess
and use special nuclear material in a
plutonium processing and fuel
fabrication plant, as defined in 10 CFR
