Nuclear Regulatory Commission February 9, 2016 – Federal Register Recent Federal Regulation Documents

The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is issuing a final revision to several sections in Chapter 11, ``Radioactive Waste Management,'' of NUREG-0800, ``Standard Review Plan (SRP) for the Review of Safety Analysis Reports for Nuclear Power Plants: LWR Edition.'' On September 17, 2014, the NRC published for public comment the proposed revisions to Chapter 11 of the SRP. The NRC made changes to the proposed revisions after the consideration of comments received. Among other changes, the revisions include (1) revision of the title of SRP Section 11.1 to ``Coolant Source Terms,'' (2) implementation of Interim Staff Guidance (ISG), COL/DC-ISG-013, and (3) the revision also harmonizes SRP Section 11.2 with Branch Technical Position (BTP) 11.6 regarding the guidance of COL/DC-ISG-013 for calculating doses to members of the public and identifying acceptable criteria in assessing the radiological consequences of accidental releases due to tank failures.
