Results 1 - 5 of 5
RG 5.28, “Evaluation of Shipper-Receiver Differences in the Transfer of Special Nuclear Material,” Revision 0 RG 5.49, “Internal Transfers of Special Nuclear Material,” Revision 0 RG 5.57, “Shipping and Receiving Control of Strategic Special Nuclear Material,” Revision 1
The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is withdrawing the following three regulatory guides (RGs): RG 5.28, ``Evaluation of Shipper-Receiver Differences in the Transfer of Special Nuclear Material;'' RG 5.49, ``Internal Transfers of Special Nuclear Material;'' and RG 5.57, ``Shipping and Receiving Control of Strategic Special Nuclear Material.'' These RGs are being withdrawn because the guidance has been incorporated into RG 5.41, ``Shipping, Receiving, and Internal Transfer of Special Nuclear Material.''
Shipping, Receiving, and Internal Transfer of Special Nuclear Material
The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is issuing Regulatory Guide (RG) 5.41, ``Shipping, Receiving, and Internal Transfer of Special Nuclear Material.'' This new RG consolidates in one document NRC guidance concerning the material control and accounting requirements pertaining to shipments, receipts, and internal transfers of special nuclear material. In addition, this guide provides updated guidance for source material (SM) and depleted uranium (DU) at uranium enrichment facilities.
Qualification of Safety-Related Vented Lead-Acid Storage Batteries for Nuclear Power Plants
The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is issuing for public comment draft regulatory guide (DG), DG-1338, ``Qualification of Safety-Related Vented Lead-Acid Storage Batteries for Nuclear Power Plants.'' DG-1338 is proposed revision 1 of regulatory guide (RG) 1.158, ``Qualification of Safety-Related Lead Storage Batteries for Nuclear Power Plants'' dated February 1989. DG-1338 endorses (with clarifying regulatory positions) the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) Standard (Std.) 535-2013, ``IEEE Standard for Qualification of Class 1E Vented Lead Acid Storage Batteries for Nuclear Power Generating Stations.'' IEEE 535-2013 contains procedures for qualifying batteries with duty cycles of less than 8 hours and batteries with duty cycles longer than 8 hours.
Tennessee Valley Authority; Browns Ferry Nuclear Plant, Units 1, 2, and 3
The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is considering issuance of amendments to Renewed Facility Operating License Nos. DPR- 33, DPR-52, and DPR-68 issued to Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA, the licensee) for operation of Browns Ferry Nuclear Plant, Units 1, 2, and 3 (BFN) located in Limestone County, Alabama. The proposed amendments would increase the maximum licensed thermal power level for each reactor from 3,458 megawatts thermal (MWt) to 3,952 MWt. This change, referred to as an extended power uprate (EPU), represents an increase of approximately 14.3 percent above the current licensed thermal power limit. The NRC is issuing a final environmental assessment (EA) and final finding of no significant impact (FONSI) associated with the proposed EPU.
