NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION


Draft Regulatory Guide; Issuance, Availability

    The Nuclear Regulatory Commission has issued for public comment a 
draft of a new guide in its Regulatory Guide Series. This series has 
been developed to describe and make available to the public such 
information as methods acceptable to the NRC staff for implementing 
specific parts of the NRC's regulations, techniques used by the staff 
in evaluating specific problems or postulated accidents, and data 
needed by the staff in its review of applications for permits and 
licenses.
    The draft guide, temporarily identified by its task number, DG-1097 
(which should be mentioned in all correspondence concerning this draft 
guide), is titled ``Fire Protection for Operating Nuclear Power 
Plants.'' This guide is being developed to provide a comprehensive fire 
protection guidance document and to identify the scope and depth of 
fire protection that the NRC staff has determined to be acceptable for 
operating nuclear plants.
    This draft guide has not received complete staff approval and does 
not represent an official NRC staff position.
    Comments may be accompanied by relevant information or supporting 
data. Written comments may be submitted to the Rules and Directives 
Branch, Office of Administration, U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission,
