[NRC-2010-0033; DC/COL-ISG-021]


Office of New Reactors; Final Interim Staff Guidance on the 
Review of Nuclear Power Plant Designs Using a Gas Turbine Driven 
Standby Emergency Alternating Current Power System

AGENCY: Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC).

ACTION: Notice of availability.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The NRC staff is issuing its Final Interim Staff Guidance 
(ISG) DC/COL-ISG-021 titled ``Interim Staff Guidance on the Review of 
Nuclear Power Plant Designs Using a Gas Turbine Driven Standby 
Emergency Alternating Current Power System,'' Agencywide Documents 
Access and Management System (ADAMS) Accession No. ML102510119 for DC/
COL-ISG-021 and ADAMS Accession No. ML102510164 for Attachment 1 to DC/
COL-ISG-021. This ISG provides new guidance for applicants submitting a 
combined license (COL) or design certification (DC) application for new 
nuclear power reactors under Title 10 of the Code of Federal 
Regulations, part 52. In addition, it supplements the guidance provided 
to the NRC staff in NUREG-0800, ``Standard Review Plan for the Review 
of Safety Analysis Reports for Nuclear Power Plants,'' March 2007, 
Standard Review Plan (SRP), Section 8.3.1 and Sections 9.5.4 through 
9.5.8. The NRC staff issues DC/COL-ISGs to facilitate activities 
associated with NRC review of applications for DCs and COLs. The NRC 
staff intends to incorporate DC/COL-ISG-021 into the next revision of 
SRP Section 8.3.1 and Sections 9.5.4 through 9.5.8 and Regulatory Guide 
1.206, ``Combined License Applications for Nuclear Power Plants (LWR 
Edition),'' June 2007.
    Disposition: On February 3, 2010, the NRC staff issued proposed DC/
COL-ISG-021 on ``Review of Nuclear Power Plant Designs Using a Gas 
Turbine Driven Standby Emergency Alternating Current Power System,'' 
ADAMS Accession No. ML092640035. The NRC staff received comments on the 
proposed guidance. This final issuance resolves the majority of the 
comments. The NRC staff responses to these comments can be found in 
ADAMS Accession No. ML102510176.
