Nuclear Regulatory Commission November 16, 2016 – Federal Register Recent Federal Regulation Documents

The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is requesting public comment on the draft test plan entitled, ``Response of Nuclear Power Plant Instrumentation Cables When Exposed to Fire Conditions Test Plan,'' in order to receive feedback from the widest range of interested parties and to ensure that all information relevant to developing this document is available to the NRC staff. The purpose of this draft test plan is to better understand the fire-induced failure modes of instrumentation cables and evaluate the potential effect those failure modes could have on plant instrumentation circuits (i.e., circuit, component, and/or system response).
