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 2 of Regulatory Guide 3.71, 

entitled, ‘‘Nuclear Criticality Safety 

Standards for Fuels and Material 

Facilities,’’ was issued with a temporary 

identification as Draft Regulatory Guide, 

DG–3030. Regulatory Guide 3.71 

provides applicants, licensees, and 

certificate holders with updated 

guidance concerning criticality safety 

standards that the NRC has endorsed for 

use with nuclear fuels and material 

facilities. As such, Regulatory Guide 

3.71 describes methods that the NRC 

staff considers acceptable for complying 

with the NRC’s regulations in Title 10, 

of the Code of Federal Regulations, parts 

70, ‘‘Domestic Licensing of Special 

Nuclear Material,’’ and 76, ‘‘Certification 

of Gaseous Diffusion Plants’’ (10 CFR 

parts 70 and 76). 

The NRC staff has revised Regulatory 

Guide 3.71 to provide guidance on 

complying with these portions of the 

NRC’s regulations. This guide describes 

procedures for preventing nuclear 

criticality accidents in operations that 

involve handling, processing, storing, 

and/or transporting special nuclear 

material at fuel and material facilities. It 

also endorses specific nuclear criticality 

safety standards developed by the 

American Nuclear Society’s Standards 

Subcommittee 8 (ANS–8), ‘‘Operations 

with Fissionable Materials Outside 

Reactors.’’ Regulatory Guide 3.71 is not 

intended for use by nuclear reactor 

licensees. 

II. Further Information 

In July 2010, DG–3030 was published 

with a public comment period of 60 

days from the issuance of the guide. The 

public comment period closed on 

September 29, 2010. The staff’s 

responses to the public comments 

received are located in the NRC’s 

Agencywide Documents Access and 

Management System under Accession 

Number ML103210349. Electronic 

copies of Regulatory guide 3.71, 

Revision 2 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 

Room O–1F 21, One White Flint North, 

11555 Rockville Pike, Rockville, 

Maryland 20852–2738. The PDR’s 

mailing address is USNRC PDR, 

Washington, DC 20555–0001. The PDR 

can also be reached by telephone: 301– 

415–4737 or 800–397–4209, by fax: 

301–415–3548, and by e-mail: 

pdr@nrc.gov. 

Regulatory guides are not 

copyrighted, and Commission approval 

is not required to reproduce them. 

Dated at Rockville, Maryland this 23rd day 

of December 2010.

NUCLEAR REGULATORY 

COMMISSION 

[NRC–2009–0444] 

Notice of Availability of the Models for 

Plant-Specific Adoption of Technical 

Specifications Task Force Traveler 

TSTF–513, Revision 3, ‘‘Revise PWR 

Operability Requirements and Actions 

for RCS Leakage Instrumentation’’ 

AGENCY: U.S. Nuclear Regulatory 

Commission (NRC). 

ACTION: Notice of Availability. 

SUMMARY: As part of the consolidated 

line item improvement process (CLIIP), 

the NRC is announcing the availability 

of the model application (with model no 

significant hazards consideration 

determination) and model safety 

evaluation (SE) for the plant-specific 

adoption of Technical Specifications 

Task Force (TSTF) Traveler TSTF–513, 

Revision 3, ‘‘Revise PWR [pressurized 

water reactor] Operability Requirements 

and Actions for RCS [reactor coolant 

system] Leakage Instrumentation.’’ 

TSTF–513, Revision 3, is available in 

the Agencywide Documents Access and 

Management System (ADAMS) under 

Accession Number ML102360355. The 

proposed changes would revise the 

Standard Technical Specifications (STS) 

to define a new time limit for restoring 

inoperable RCS leakage detection 

instrumentation to operable status and 

establish alternate methods of 

monitoring RCS leakage when one or 

more required monitors are inoperable. 

Changes to the Technical Specifications 

(TS) Bases are included, which reflect 

the proposed changes and more 

accurately reflect the contents of the 

facility design bases related to the 

operability of the RCS leakage detection 

instrumentation. The CLIIP model SE 

will facilitate expedited approval of 

plant-specific adoption of TSTF–513, 

Revision 3.
