RIN 3150–AH42 

Alternate Risk-Informed Approach for 

Addressing the Effects of Debris on 

Post-Accident Long-Term Core 

Cooling 

AGENCY: Nuclear Regulatory 

Commission. 

ACTION: Draft regulatory guide; request 

for comment. 

SUMMARY: The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory 

Commission (NRC) is issuing for public 

comment draft regulatory guide (DG), 

DG–1322, ‘‘Alternate Risk-Informed 

Approach for Addressing the Effects of 

Debris On Post-Accident Long-Term 

Core Cooling.’’ This DG proposes new

voluntary, risk-informed alternative in a 

proposed revision of the NRC’s 

regulation governing the design of 

emergency core cooling systems (ECCS). 

DATES: Submit comments by July 6, 

2015. Comments received after this date

II. Additional Information 

The NRC is issuing for public 

comment a DG in the NRC’s ‘‘Regulatory 

Guide’’ series. This series was 

developed to describe and make 

available to the public information 

regarding 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 DG, entitled, ‘‘Alternate RiskInformed Approach for Addressing the 

Effects of Debris On Post-Accident 

Long-Term Core Cooling,’’ is a proposed 

new guide temporarily identified by its 

task number, DG–1322. This DG–1322 

proposes new guidance that describes 

methods and procedures that the staff 

considers acceptable for complying with 

a voluntary, risk-informed alternative in 

a proposed revision of the NRC’s 

regulation governing the design of 

ECCS, section 50.46c of Title 10 of the 

mstockstill on DSK4VPTVN1PROD with PROPOSALS

Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 75 / Monday, April 20, 2015 / Proposed Rules 21659 

1The citations in this proposed rule are to the 

2011 regulations. In 2011, EEOC issued amended 

regulations to revise the definition of disability and 

other provisions to conform to changes to the ADA 

made by the ADA Amendments Act of 2008, but 

Continued 

Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR), 

‘‘Emergency core cooling system 

performance during loss-of-coolant 

accidents (LOCA),’’ with respect to the 

effects of debris during long-term 

cooling. 

The voluntary alternative was 

included in the proposed 10 CFR 50.46c 

rule at the direction of the Commission 

in the Staff Requirements Memorandum 

(SRM) regarding SECY–12–0093 

‘‘Closure Options for Generic Safety 

Issue—191, Assessment of Debris 

Accumulation on Pressurized-Water 

Reactor Sump Performance,’’ and in the 

SRM regarding SECY–12–0034 

‘‘Proposed Rulemaking—10 CFR 50.46c: 

Emergency Core Cooling System 

Performance During Loss-of-Coolant 

Accidents (RIN 3150–AH42).’’ This 

guide is intended to provide a 

consistent approach for licensees to use 

when performing a risk assessment of 

the complex phenomena associated 

with debris generation and transport, 

and the resulting effect on long-term 

core cooling. 

III. Backfitting and Issue Finality 

This DG, if finalized, would not 

constitute backfitting as defined in 

§ 50.109 (the Backfit Rule), and would 

not be otherwise inconsistent with the 

issue finality provisions in 10 CFR part 

52, ‘‘Licenses, Certifications and 

Approvals for Nuclear Power Plants.’’ 

The NRC published a proposed revision 

of 10 CFR 50.46c on March 24, 2014 (79 

FR 16106). The proposed rule includes 

the option of allowing an applicant or 

licensee to address the effects of debris 

on longterm cooling with respect to 

ECCS performance requirements in 

§ 50.46c and GDC–35 using a riskinformed approach. The proposed rule 

would also allow applicants and 

licensees who select the option to use 

the same approach in demonstrating 

compliance with GDC–38 and GDC–41. 

This DG provides guidance on one 

possible means for implementing that 

option. The proposed guidance does not 

exceed the scope of the proposed rule. 

Therefore, the backfitting and issue 

finality discussion for the proposed rule 

applies to this DG, and further 

consideration and discussion of 

backfitting and issue finality for the DG 

is not necessary. 

Dated at Rockville, Maryland, this 13th day 

of April 2015. 

For the Nuclear Regulatory Commission. 

Harriet Karagiannis, 

Acting Chief, Regulatory Guidance and 

Generic Issues Branch, Division of 

Engineering, Office of Nuclear Regulatory 

Research.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Introduction 

The Equal Employment Opportunity 

Commission (‘‘EEOC’’ or 

‘‘Commission’’) is issuing a proposed 

rule that would amend the regulations 

and interpretive guidance implementing 

Title I of the Americans with 

Disabilities Act (ADA) as they relate to 

employer wellness programs. Congress 

enacted the ADA in 1990 to prohibit 

discrimination against individuals with 

disabilities. The EEOC issued 

implementing regulations in 1991 to 

provide additional guidance on the 

law’s requirements and prohibited 

practices with respect to employment.1
