SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Introduction 

The NRC is issuing for public 

comment a draft guide in the agency’s 

‘‘Regulatory Guide’’ series. This series 

was developed to describe and make 

available to the public such information 

as methods that are acceptable to the 

NRC staff for implementing specific 

parts of the NRC’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. 

This guide focuses on terrestrial 

analyses for licensing new nuclear 

power stations under the combined 

licensing process in Title 10 of the Code 

of Federal Regulations (10 CFR) part 52, 

‘‘Licenses, Certifications, and Approvals 

for Nuclear Power Plants’’ and power 

reactors under 10 CFR part 50, 

‘‘Domestic Licensing of Production and 

Utilization Facilities.’’ This guide is also 

useful in identifying the more limited 

studies and analyses needed for nuclear 

reactor operating license renewal under 

10 CFR Part 54, ‘‘Requirements for 

Renewal of Operating Licenses for 

Nuclear Power Plants,’’ and portions 

may also be relevant to nuclear reactor 

decommissioning. 

Dated at Rockville, Maryland, this 5th day 

of August, 2011.
