II. Further Information 

The NRC is issuing for public 

comment a draft guide in the NRC’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. 

The draft regulatory guide, entitled, 

‘‘Initial Test Program of Condensate and 

Feedwater Systems for Light-Water 

Reactors’’ is temporarily identified by 

its task number, DG–1265. The DG–1265 

is proposed revision 2 of Regulatory 

Guide 1.68.1, dated January 1977. 

This guide describes the methods that 

the staff of the NRC considers 

acceptable to implement Appendix A, 

‘‘General Design Criteria for Nuclear 

Power Plants,’’ to Title 10, of the Code 

of Federal Regulations (CFR), Part 50, 

‘‘Domestic Licensing of Production and 

Utilization Facilities’’ (10 CFR Part 50), 

including, but not limited to, Criterion 

4, ‘‘Environmental and Dynamic Effects 

Design Basis,’’ Criterion 11, ‘‘Reactor 

Inherent Protection,’’ Criterion 14, 

‘‘Reactor Coolant Pressure Boundary,’’ 

and Criterion 15, ‘‘Reactor Coolant 

System Design’’ regarding the initial test 

program (ITP) for condensate and 

feedwater (FW) systems, including 

condensate storage and supply, for lightwater reactors (LWRs) and for startup 

feedwater (SFW), auxiliary feedwater 

(AFW) or emergency feedwater (EFW) 

systems for pressurized-water reactors 

(PWRs). This guide also describes 

methods that the NRC staff finds 

acceptable for testing condensate, FW, 

SFW/AFW/EFW (PWR only) structures, 

systems, and components (SSCs) in 

accordance with Subpart B, ‘‘Standard 

Design Certifications,’’ and Subpart C, 

‘‘Combined Licenses,’’ of 10 CFR Part 

52, ‘‘Licenses, Certifications, and 

Approvals for Nuclear Power Plants.’’

NUCLEAR REGULATORY 

COMMISSION 

[NRC–2012–0065] 

Preoperational Testing of Instrument 

and Control Air Systems 

AGENCY: Nuclear Regulatory 

Commission. 

ACTION: Draft regulatory guide; request 

for comment. 

SUMMARY: The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory 

Commission (NRC or the Commission) 

is issuing for public comment draft 

regulatory guide (DG), DG–1268, 

‘‘Preoperational Testing of Instrument 

and Control Air Systems.’’ This 

regulatory guide is being revised to 

address new issues that have been 

raised since RG 1.68.3 was first issued. 

These include vibration testing of 

instrument and control air systems 

(ICAS) to meet seismic requirement, 

ICAS air-dryer testing to meet dew point 

design requirements, ICAS accumulator 

check valves and solenoid valves 

operating and testing experience, an 

update to ISA S7.3 for acceptable 

industry standards for oil, water and 

particle matter in ICAS. 

DATES: Submit comments by May 18, 

2012. Comments received after this date 

will be considered if it is practical to do 

so, but the NRC is able to ensure 

consideration only for comments 

received on or before this date. 

Although a time limit is given, 

comments and suggestions in 

connection with items for inclusion in 

guides currently being developed or 

improvements in all published guides 

are encouraged at any time.

II. Further Information 

The NRC is issuing for public 

comment a draft guide in the NRC’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

staff needs in its review of applications 

for permits and licenses. 

The draft regulatory guide, entitled, 

‘‘Preoperational Testing of Instrument 

and Control Air Systems,’’ is 

temporarily identified by its task 

number, DG–1268. The DG–1268 is 

proposed revision 2 of Regulatory Guide 

1.68.3, dated January 1977. 

This guide describes methods and 

procedures the staff of the NRC 

considers acceptable to implement 

preoperational testing of the instrument 

and control air systems (ICAS) in a 

commercial nuclear power plant. 

Successful demonstration of the 

operability of the ICAS is one of the 

items required by Appendix A, ‘‘General 

Design Criteria for Nuclear Power 

Plants,’’ of Title 10 of the Code of 

Federal Regulations, part 50, ‘‘Domestic 

Licensing of Production and Utilization 

Facilities’’ (10 CFR part 50). This guide 

also describes the methods that the NRC 

staff finds acceptable for the initial test 

program for ICAS systems, structures, 

and components (SSCs) in accordance 

with the regulations in 10 CFR Part 52, 

‘‘Licenses, Certifications, and Approvals 

for Nuclear Power Plants,’’ Subpart B, 

‘‘Standard Design Certifications,’’ and 

Subpart C, ‘‘Combined Licenses.’’
