NUCLEAR REGULATORY 

COMMISSION 

Regulatory Guide: Withdrawal 

AGENCY: Nuclear Regulatory 

Commission. 

ACTION: Regulatory Guide: Withdrawal. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: John 

N. Ridgely, U.S. Nuclear Regulatory 

Commission, Washington, DC 20555–

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Introduction 

The Nuclear Regulatory Commission 

(NRC) is withdrawing Regulatory Guide 

(RG) 1.49, ‘‘Power Levels of Nuclear 

Power Plants,’’ which was issued in 

response to a NRC Commission policy 

statement dated March 5, 1973. Revision 

1 of the RG was issued in December 

1973. The RG established the normal 

operating core thermal power level of 

3800 megawatts as the limit for any 

nuclear power plant until January 1, 

1979. This limit was set to encourage 

greater standardization of nuclear power 

plants and to stabilize the maximum 

size of nuclear plants until sufficient 

experience was gained with the design, 

construction, and operation of large 

plants. Since 1979, substantial 

experience has been gained with large 

power plants and standardization of 

plant designs has proceeded by use of 

the design certification process. The 

staff has approved plant designs with 

the core thermal operating power levels 

in excess of 3800 megawatts and has 

approved increased core thermal 

operating power levels for existing 

operating plants on a case-by-case basis. 

The staff has determined that RG 1.49 is 

no longer necessary. Furthermore, it is 

not referenced by any other documents 

in association with nuclear plant 

licensing actions. 

II. Further Information 

Withdrawal of RG 1.49 does not, in 

and of itself, alter any prior or existing 

licensing commitments based on its use. 

The guidance provided in this RG is no 

longer applicable. Regulatory guides 

may be withdrawn when methods and 

techniques no longer define an 

acceptable approach to comply with 

NRC regulations or otherwise do not 

provide useful information. 

Regulatory guides are available for 

inspection or downloading through the 

NRC’s public Web site in the Regulatory 

Guides document collection of the 

NRC’s Electronic Reading Room at 

http://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/doccollections. Regulatory guides are also 

available for inspection at the NRC’s 

Public Document Room (PDR), Room O–

1F21, One White Flint North, 11555 

Rockville Pike, Rockville, Maryland. 

The PDR’s mailing address is USNRC 

PDR, Washington, DC 20555–0001. The 

PDR staff can be reached by telephone 

at (301) 415–4737 or (800) 397–4209, by 

fax at (301) 415–3548, and by e-mail to 

PDR@nrc.gov. 

Regulatory guides are not 

copyrighted, and NRC approval is not 

required to reproduce them. (5 U.S.C.
