SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Introduction 

The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory 

Commission (NRC or Commission) is 

issuing a new 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. 

Regulatory Guide 5.80, ‘‘PressureSensitive and Tamper-Indicating Device 

Seals for Material Control and 

Accounting of Special Nuclear 

Material,’’ was issued with a temporary 

identification as Draft Regulatory Guide, 

DG–5029. This regulatory guide replaces 

the existing RG 5.10, ‘‘Selection and Use 

of Pressure-Sensitive Seals on 

Containers for Onsite Storage of Special 

Nuclear Material,’’ issued July 1973, and 

the existing RG 5.15, ‘‘TamperIndicating Seals for the Protection and 

Control of Special Nuclear Material,’’ 

issued March 1997, with a new 

regulatory guide titled, ‘‘PressureSensitive and Tamper-Indicating Device 

Seals for MC&A Use.’’ As a replacement, 

this guide describes a number of 

improved tamper-indicating devices 

(TIDs) and pressure-sensitive (PS) seals 

developed in recent years, primarily in 

response to commercial interests 

outside the nuclear industry. This 

guide, among other things, distinguishes 

between genuine and nongenuine 

manufactured seals and stresses serial 

number identification to aid in the 

control of material or to alert shipping 

and receiving personnel to containers 

that were opened in transit. This guide 

also incorporates suggestions for 

ensuring that TIDs are properly applied. 

II. Further Information 

In June 2009, DG–5029 was published 

with a public comment period of 60 

days from the issuance of the guide. The 

public comment period closed on 

October 13, 2009. The staff’s responses 

to the public comments received can be 

located in the NRC’s Agencywide 

Documents Access and Management 

System (ADAMS) under Accession 

Number ML101810238. The regulatory 

analysis may be found in ADAMS under 

Accession Number ML101800517. 

Electronic copies of RG 5.80 are 

available through the NRC’s public Web 

site under ‘‘Regulatory Guides’’ at 

http://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/doccollections/. 

In addition, regulatory guides are 

available for inspection at the NRC’s 

Public Document Room (PDR) located at 

11555 Rockville Pike, Rockville, 

Maryland. The PDR’s mailing address is 

USNRC PDR, Washington, DC 20555– 

0001. The PDR can also be reached by 

telephone at 301–415–4737 or 1–800– 

397–4205, by fax at 301–415–3548, and 

by e-mail to pdr.resource@nrc.gov. 

Regulatory guides are not 

copyrighted, and Commission approval 

is not required to reproduce them.

of December, 2010.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Introduction 

The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory 

Commission (NRC) 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 3.12, 

‘‘General Design Guide for Ventilation 

Systems of Plutonium Processing and 

Fuel Fabrication Plant,’’ was issued with 

a temporary identification as Draft 

Regulatory Guide, DG–3034. This guide 

describes a method that the staff of the 

NRC considers acceptable for use in 

complying with Title 10, § 70.23(a)(3), 

of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 

CFR 70.23(a)(3)), and 10 CFR 70.23(a)(4) 

on the design of ventilation systems for 

plutonium processing and fuel 

fabrication plants. At plutonium 

processing and fuel fabrication plants, a 

principal risk to health and safety is the 

release and dispersal of radioactive 

materials. The prevention of such 

release and dispersal is an important 

function of the ventilation systems. To 

meet these objectives, this guide 

provides recommendations for 

achieving defense in depth and for 

minimizing the release of radioactive 

materials to the environment. 

Each applicant for a license to possess 

and use special nuclear material in a 

plutonium processing and fuel 

fabrication plant, as defined in 10 CFR
