SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: There is a 

movement to introduce risk-informed 

and performance-based (RI/PB) analyses 

into fire protection engineering practice. 

This movement exists in both the 

general fire protection and the nuclear 

power plant (NPP) fire protection 

communities. The U.S. Nuclear 

Regulatory Commission (NRC) has used 

risk-informed insights as a part of its 

regulatory decision making since the 

1990s. In 2002, the National Fire 

Protection Association developed NFPA 

805, Performance-Based Standard for 

Fire Protection for Light-Water Reactor 

Electric Generating Plants. In July 2004, 

the NRC amended its fire protection 

requirements in Title 10, Section 50.48, 

of the Code of Federal Regulations to 

permit existing reactor licensees to 

voluntarily adopt fire protection 

requirements contained in NFPA 805 as 

an alternative to the existing 

deterministic requirements. NUREG– 

1934 (EPRI 1019195), ‘‘Nuclear Power 

Plant Fire Modeling Application Guide, 

Draft Report for Comment’’ was written 

as a collaborative effort by the U.S. 

Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) 

Office of Nuclear Regulatory Research 

(RES), the Electric Power Research 

Institute (EPRI), and the National 

Institute of Standards and Technology 

(NIST) to provide guidance on using fire 

modeling for nuclear power plant 

applications. The features and 

limitations of the five fire models 

documented in NUREG–1824 (EPRI 

1011999), Verification & Validation of 

Selected Fire Models for Nuclear Power 

Plant Applications are discussed 

relative to NPP applications. Finally, the 

report describes the implications of 

verified and validated (V&V) fire models 

that can reliably predict the 

consequences of fires.

of January 2010.

NUCLEAR REGULATORY 

COMMISSION 

[NRC–2009–0467] 

Office of New Reactors; Final Interim 

Staff Guidance on Post-Combined 

License Commitments 

AGENCY: Nuclear Regulatory 

Commission (NRC). 

ACTION: Notice of availability. 

SUMMARY: The NRC is issuing its Final 

Interim Staff Guidance (ISG) ESP/DC/ 

COL–ISG–015 (Agencywide Documents 

Access and Management System 

(ADAMS) Accession No. 

ML093561416). This ISG supplements 

the guidance provided to the NRC staff 

in Section 1.0, ‘‘Introduction and 

Interfaces,’’ of NUREG–0800, ‘‘Standard 

Review Plan for the Review of Safety 

Analysis Reports for Nuclear Power 

Plants,’’ concerning the review of 

applications to support early site permit 

(ESP), design certification (DC) and 

combined license (COL) applications. In 

addition, this ISG supplements the 

guidance provided in Section C.III.4 of 

Regulatory Guide (RG) 1.206, 

‘‘Regulatory Guide for Combined 

License Applications for Nuclear Power 

Plants,’’ June 2007. 

The NRC staff issues ISGs to facilitate 

timely implementation of the current 

staff guidance and to facilitate activities 

associated with review of applications 

for ESPs, DCs, and COLs by the Office 

of New Reactors. The NRC staff will also 

incorporate the approved ISGs into the 

next revision to the review guidance 

documents for new reactor applications. 

Disposition: On October 27, 2009, the 

NRC staff issued the proposed ISG, ESP/ 

DC/COL–ISG–015 ‘‘Post-Combined 

License Commitments,’’ (ADAMS 

Accession No. ML091671355) to solicit 

public and industry comment. The NRC 

staff received comments (ADAMS 

Accession No. ML093430227) on the 

proposed guidance on November 24, 

2009. These comments were further 

discussed in a public meeting held by 

the NRC on December 17, 2009. This 

final issuance incorporates changes 

from the majority of the comments and 

the discussions at the public meeting. A 

discussion and slide presentation on 

ESP/DC/COL–ISG–015 held during the 

public meeting on December 17, 2009,

ADDRESSES: The NRC maintains 

ADAMS, which provides text and image 

files of NRC’s public documents. These 

documents may be accessed through the 

NRC’s Public Electronic Reading Room
