NUCLEAR REGULATORY 

COMMISSION 

Draft Regulatory Guide: Issuance, 

Availability 

The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory 

Commission (NRC) has issued for public 

comment a draft of a new guide in the 

agency’s Regulatory Guide Series. This 

series has been 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. 

The draft regulatory guide, entitled 

‘‘Combined License Applications for 

Nuclear Power Plants (LWR Edition),’’ is 

temporarily identified by its task 

number, DG–1145, which should be 

mentioned in all related 

correspondence. This proposed 

regulatory guide contains guidance for 

use in submitting combined license 

(COL) applications in compliance with 

the Commission’s regulations in Title 10 

Part 52 of the Code of Federal 

Regulations (10 CFR Part 52), ‘‘Early 

Site Permits; Design Certifications; and 

Combined Licenses for Nuclear Power 

Plants.’’ Specifically, 10 CFR Part 52 

governs the issuance of early site 

permits, standard design certifications, 

and combined licenses for nuclear 

power plants. 

In February 1972, the NRC initially 

published Regulatory Guide 1.70, 

‘‘Standard Format and Content of Safety 

Analysis Reports for Nuclear Power 

Plants (LWR Edition),’’ which the 

nuclear industry has since used in 

preparing applications for construction 

permits and operating licenses for new 

nuclear power plants. The NRC most 

recently revised Regulatory Guide 1.70 

in November 1978 and, since that time, 

the Commission has established a new 

process for licensing new reactors. That 

process, described in detail in 10 CFR 

Part 52, allows an applicant to reference 

an early site permit (ESP), a design 

certification (DC), both, or neither, in a 

COL application. The NRC has 

developed Draft Regulatory Guide DG–

1145 to provide guidance to applicants 

who plan to use this new process. 

The NRC initially issued 10 CFR Part 

52 in April 1989 to offer alternative 

licensing (ESP, standard DC, COL, and 

manufacturing license) processes for 

new nuclear power plants. More 

recently, the agency proposed a revision 

of the rule on March 13, 2006, (71 FR 

12782), to clarify the applicability of 

various requirements to each of the 

licensing processes. This Draft 

Regulatory Guide, DG–1145, is based on 

the proposed revised rule. The specific 

requirements pertaining to technical 

requirements for content of applications 

are contained in proposed 10 CFR 52.79, 

‘‘Contents of applications, general 

requirements’’ and proposed 10 CFR 

52.80, ‘‘Contents of applications, 

additional technical information.’’ The 

final Regulatory Guide will be 

conformed to the final rule that is 

adopted by the Commission, and will be 

issued when that final rule is available. 

At this time, the NRC staff is soliciting 

comments on Draft Regulatory Guide 

DG–1145. Comments may be 

accompanied by relevant information or 

supporting data, and should mention 

DG–1145 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).

removed from your comments. You may
