Draft Regulatory Guide: Issuance, 

Availability 

AGENCY: Nuclear Regulatory 

Commission. 

ACTION: Notice of Issuance and 

Availability of Draft Regulatory Guide, 

DG–1247, ‘‘Design-Basis Hurricane and 

Hurricane Missiles for Nuclear Power 

Plants.’’ 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Robert G. Carpenter, U.S. Nuclear 

Regulatory Commission, Washington,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Introduction 

The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory 

Commission (NRC) is issuing for public 

comment a draft guide in the agency’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 (DG), 

entitled, ‘‘Design-Basis Hurricane and 

Hurricane Missiles for Nuclear Power 

Plants,’’ is temporarily identified by its 

task number, DG–1247, which should be 

mentioned in all related 

correspondence. DG–1247 is a proposed 

new regulatory guide. 

This regulatory guide provides 

licensees and applicants with new 

guidance that the staff of the NRC 

considers acceptable for use in selecting 

the design-basis hurricane and designbasis hurricane-generated missiles that a 

nuclear power plant should be designed 

to withstand to prevent undue risk to 

the health and safety of the public. This 

guidance applies to the contiguous 

United States but does not address the 

determination of the design-basis 

hurricane and hurricane missiles for 

sites located along the Pacific coast or 

in Alaska, Hawaii, or Puerto Rico; the 

NRC will evaluate such determinations 

on a case-by-case basis. This guide also 

does not identify the specific structures, 

systems, and components that should be 

designed to withstand the effects of the 

design-basis hurricane or should be 

protected from hurricane-generated 

missiles and remain functional. Nor 

does this guide address other externally 

generated hazards, such as aviation 

crashes, nearby accidental explosions 

resulting in blast overpressure levels 

and explosion-borne debris and 

missiles, and turbine missiles. 

II. Further Information 

The NRC staff is soliciting comments 

on DG–1247. Comments may be 

accompanied by relevant information or 

supporting data and should mention 

DG–1247 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). 

Comments would be most helpful if 

received by October 21, 2010. 

Comments received after that 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. 

ADDRESSES: You may submit comments 

by any one of the following methods. 

Please include Docket ID NRC–2010– 

0288 in the subject line of your 

comments. Comments submitted in 

writing or in electronic form will be 

posted on the NRC Web site and on the 

Federal rulemaking website 

Regulations.gov. Because your 

comments will not be edited to remove 

any identifying or contact information, 

the NRC cautions you against including 

any information in your submission that 

you do not want to be publicly 

disclosed. 

The NRC requests that any party 

soliciting or aggregating comments 

received from other persons for 

submission to the NRC inform those 

persons that the NRC will not edit their 

comments to remove any identifying or 

contact information, and therefore, they 

should not include any information in 

their comments that they do not want 

publicly disclosed.
