staff needs in its review of applications 

for permits and licenses. 

The draft regulatory guide (DG), 

entitled, ‘‘Initial Startup Test Program to 

Demonstrate Remote Shutdown 

Capability for Water-Cooled Nuclear 

Power Plants,’’ is temporarily identified 

by its task number, DG–1236, which 

should be mentioned in all related 

correspondence. DG–1236 is proposed 

Revision 2 of Regulatory Guide 1.68.2, 

dated July 1978. 

This guide describes an initial startup 

test program acceptable to the NRC staff 

for demonstrating hot shutdown 

capability and the potential for cold 

shutdown from outside the control 

room. This guide is applicable to watercooled nuclear power plants. 

Title 10, Part 50, of the Code of 

Federal Regulations (10 CFR Part 50), 

‘‘Domestic Licensing of Production and 

Utilization Facilities,’’ and 10 CFR Part 

52, ‘‘Licenses, Certifications, and 

Approvals for Nuclear Power Plants,’’ 

10 CFR 50.34, ‘‘Contents of 

Applications; Technical Information,’’ 

and 10 CFR 52.79, ‘‘Contents of 

Application, Technical Information in 

FSAR,’’ require, in part, that an 

applicant for a license to operate a 

production or utilization facility 

provide a safety analysis report (SAR) 

that includes the principal design 

criteria for the proposed facility. The 

introduction to Appendix A, ‘‘General 

Design Criteria for Nuclear Power 

Plants,’’ to 10 CFR Part 50 states that 

these principal design criteria are to 

establish the necessary design, 

fabrication, construction, testing, and 

performance requirements for 

structures, systems, and components 

(SSCs) important to safety (i.e., SSCs 

that provide reasonable assurance that 

the facility can be operated without 

undue risk to the health and safety of 

the public). 

II. Further Information 

The NRC staff is soliciting comments 

on DG–1236. Comments may be 

accompanied by relevant information or 

supporting data and should mention 

DG–1236 in the subject line. Comments 

submitted in writing or in electronic 

form will be made available to the 

public in their entirety through the 

NRC’s Agencywide Documents Access 

and Management System (ADAMS). 

Because your comments will not be 

edited to remove any identifying or 

contact information, the NRC cautions 

you against including any information 

in your submission that you do not want 

to be publicly disclosed. 

The NRC requests that any party 

soliciting or aggregating comments 

received from other persons for 

submission to the NRC inform those 

persons that the NRC will not edit their 

comments to remove any identifying or 

contact information, and therefore, they 

should not include any information in 

their comments that they do not want 

publicly disclosed. You may submit 

comments by any of the following 

methods: 

1. Mail comments to: Rulemaking and 

Directives Branch, Mail Stop: TWB–05–

the NRC is able to ensure consideration 

only for comments received on or before

NUCLEAR WASTE TECHNICAL 

REVIEW BOARD 

Notice of Meeting 

Board meeting: September 23, 2009– 

National Harbor, MD; the U.S. Nuclear 

Waste Technical Review Board will 

meet to discuss the implications of fuelcycle technologies for nuclear waste

Pursuant to its authority under 

section 5051 of Public Law 100–203, 

Nuclear Waste Policy Amendments Act

Technical Review Board will meet at 

National Harbor, Maryland, on 

Wednesday, September 23, 2009, to 

discuss the implications of alternative 

technological strategies for the 

management and disposal of spent 

nuclear fuel and high-level radioactive 

waste. The Board will receive an update 

on the Fuel Cycle Study being 

conducted at the Massachusetts Institute 

of Technology, and a panel of industry 

representatives will discuss their 

proposals to the U.S. Department of 

Energy (DOE) for recycling, 

reprocessing, and burning spent nuclear 

fuel in fast reactors. The Board also has 

invited a representative of the Nuclear 

Energy Agency to present an overview 

of efforts in other countries to manage 

and dispose of nuclear waste. 

Information presented at the meeting

Secretary of Energy, and a blue-ribbon 

commission of technical issues and 

questions that should be addressed

alternatives. The Nuclear Waste Policy 

Amendments Act of 1987 requires the 

Board to conduct an independent 

review of the technical and scientific 

validity of DOE activities related to 

nuclear waste management, including 

transporting, packaging, and disposing 

of spent nuclear fuel and high-level 

radioactive waste.
