SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Introduction 

The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory 

Commission (NRC or Commission) 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 1.50, 

‘‘Control of Preheat Temperature for 

Welding of Low-Alloy Steel,’’ was 

issued with a temporary identification 

as Draft Regulatory Guide, DG–1222. 

This guide describes a method that the 

staff of the NRC considers acceptable for 

implementing regulatory requirements 

related to the control of welding for lowalloy steel components during initial 

fabrication. This guide applies to lightwater-cooled reactors. 

II. Further Information 

In June 2009, DG–1222 was published 

with a public comment period of 60 

days from the issuance of the guide. The 

public comment period was extended 

until October 1, 2009. The staff’s 

responses to the comments received are 

located in the NRC’s Agencywide 

Documents Access and Management 

System (ADAMS) under Accession No. 

ML101880091. Electronic copies of 

Regulatory Guide 1.50, Revision 1 are 

available through the NRC’s public Web 

site under ‘‘Regulatory Guides’’ at http:// 

www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/doccollections/. The regulatory analysis 

may be found under ADAMS Accession 

No. ML101870625.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Introduction 

The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory 

Commission (NRC) is issuing a revision

evaluating specific problems or 

postulated accidents, and data that the

for permits and licenses. 

Revision 1 of Regulatory Guide 1.34, 

‘‘Control of Electroslag Weld Properties,’’ 

was issued with a temporary 

identification as Draft Regulatory Guide, 

DG–1223. This guide describes methods 

that the staff of the NRC considers 

acceptable for implementing 

requirements about the control of weld 

properties when fabricating electroslag 

welds for nuclear components made of 

ferritic or austenitic materials. This 

guide applies to light-water reactors. 

II. Further Information 

In June 2009, DG–1223 was published 

with a public comment period of 60 

days from the issuance of the guide. The 

public comment period was extended
