Effluents and Solid Waste,’’ was issued 

with a temporary identification as Draft 

Regulatory Guide, DG–1186. This guide 

describes a method that the staff of the 

NRC considers acceptable for use in 

measuring, evaluating, and reporting 

plant-related radioactivity (excluding 

background radiation) in effluents and 

solid radioactive waste shipments. The 

regulatory guide also provides guidance 

on determining and reporting the public 

dose from nuclear power plant 

operations. 

This guide incorporates the riskinformed principles of the Reactor 

Oversight Process. A risk-informed, 

performance-based approach to 

regulatory decision-making combines 

the ‘‘risk-informed’’ and ‘‘performancebased’’ elements discussed in the staff 

requirements memorandum on SECY– 

98–144, ‘‘White Paper on Risk-Informed 

and Performance-Based Regulation,’’ 

dated March 1, 1999. 

II. Further Information 

In November 2008, DG–1186 was 

issued for public comment. The public 

comment period closed on January 30, 

2009. The staff’s responses to the public 

comments received are located in the 

NRC’s Agencywide Documents Access

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Introduction 

The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory 

Commission (NRC) is issuing a revision 

to an existing guide in the agency’s 

‘‘Regulatory Guide’’ series. This series 

was developed to describe and make 

available to the public information such 

as methods that are acceptable to the 

NRC staff for implementing specific 

parts of the agency’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. 

Revision 2 of Regulatory Guide 4.1, 

‘‘Radiological Environmental 

Monitoring for Nuclear Power Plants,’’ 

was issued with a temporary 

identification as Draft Regulatory Guide, 

DG–4013. This guide describes a 

method that the staff of the NRC 

considers acceptable for use in 

establishing and conducting an 

environmental monitoring program at 

nuclear power plants. The guide 

describes programs for preoperational 

and operational environmental 

monitoring. 

II. Further Information 

In November 2008, DG–4013 was 

published with a public comment 

period of 60 days from the issuance of 

the guide. The public comment period 

closed on January 30, 2009. The staff’s 

responses to the comments received are 

located in the NRC’s Agencywide 

Documents Access and Management 

System under accession number 

ML091310156. Electronic copies of 

Regulatory Guide 4.1, Revision 2 are
