NUCLEAR REGULATORY 

COMMISSION 

[NRC–2017–0183] 

Nuclear Criticality Safety Standards for 

Nuclear Materials Outside Reactor 

Cores 

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–3053, ‘‘Nuclear Criticality Safety 

Standards for Nuclear Materials Outside 

Reactor Cores.’’ This DG would be 

published as Revision 3 to Regulatory 

Guide (RG) 3.71. The proposed revision 

would provide methods that are 

acceptable to the NRC staff for criticality 

safety standards used with nuclear 

materials outside reactor cores. The 

revision would provide up-to-date 

guidance based on changes to American 

National Standards Institute/American 

Nuclear Society (ANSI/ANS)-8 

standards. The revision would also 

endorse International Organization for 

Standardization (ISO) Standard 

7753:1987, ‘‘Nuclear Energy— 

Performance and Testing Requirements 

for Criticality Detection and Alarm 

Systems.’’ 

DATES: Submit comments by October 23, 

2017. 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. 

ADDRESSES: You may submit comments

The NRC cautions you not to include 

identifying or contact information that 

you do not want to be publicly 

disclosed in your comment submission. 

The NRC posts all comment 

submissions at http://

www.regulations.gov as well as enters 

the comment submissions into ADAMS. 

The NRC does not routinely edit 

comment submissions to remove 

identifying or contact information. 

If you are requesting or aggregating 

comments from other persons for 

submission to the NRC, then you should 

inform those persons not to include 

identifying or contact information that 

they do not want to be publicly 

disclosed in their comment submission. 

Your request should state that the NRC 

does not routinely edit comment 

submissions to remove such information 

before making the comment 

submissions available to the public or 

entering the comment submissions into 

ADAMS. 

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 issues or postulated 

events, and data that the staff needs in 

its review of applications for permits 

and licenses. 

The DG, entitled ‘‘Nuclear Criticality 

Safety Standards for Nuclear Materials 

Outside Reactor Cores,’’ is a proposed 

revision temporarily identified by its 

task number, DG–3053. The DG–3053 is 

proposed Revision 3 of RG 3.71, 

‘‘Nuclear Criticality Safety Standards for 

Nuclear Materials outside Reactor 

Cores.’’ The NRC initially issued RG 

3.71 in 1998, and it was revised in 2005 

and again in 2010. The three previous 

versions of RG 3.71 endorsed specific 

safety standards developed by ANSI/ 

ANS–8 to provide guidance, criteria, 

and best practices for use in preventing 

and mitigating criticality accidents 

during operations that involve handling, 

processing, storing, or transporting 

special nuclear material at fuel and 

material facilities (or a combination of 

these activities). The proposed Revision 

3 would revise the RG based on changes 

to ANSI/ANS–8 standards, with certain 

exceptions and clarifications. The 

revision would also consolidate and 

replace a number of earlier NRC RGs, 

thereby incorporating all of the relevant 

guidance in a single document. This 

revision would also endorse 

International Organization for 

Standardization (ISO) Standard 

7753:1987, ‘‘Nuclear Energy— 

Performance and Testing Requirements 

for Criticality Detection and Alarm 

Systems.’’ In addition, the scope of this 

revision is expanded beyond part 70 of 

title 10 of the Code of Federal 

Regulations (10 CFR), fuel facilities to 

include transportation and storage 

facilities under parts 71 and 72. 

III. Backfitting 

This DG–3053 would update RG 3.71 

based on changes to ANSI/ANS 

standards, as well as endorsing an ISO 

standard and expanding the scope of the 

RG to include 10 CFR part 71 and part 

72 licensees. Issuance of DG–3053 

would not constitute backfitting under 

10 CFR part 70 or part 72. As discussed 

in the ‘‘Implementation’’ section of this 

DG, the NRC has no current intention to 

impose the DG on current holders of 10 

CFR part 70 or part 72 licenses. The DG 

could be applied to applications for 

licenses issued under 10 CFR part 70 or 

part 72 or amendments thereto. Such 

action would not constitute backfitting 

as defined in 10 CFR 70.76 or 10 CFR 

72.62, inasmuch as such applicants are 

not within the scope of entities 

protected by 10 CFR 70.76 or 10 CFR 

72.62.

I. Introduction 

The Commission gives notice that the 

Postal Service filed request(s) for the 

Commission to consider matters related 

to negotiated service agreement(s). The 

request(s) may propose the addition or 

removal of a negotiated service 

agreement from the market dominant or

Service request, the title of each Postal 

Service request, the request’s acceptance 

date, and the authority cited by the 

Postal Service for each request. For each 

request, the Commission appoints an 

officer of the Commission to represent 

the interests of the general public in the 

proceeding, pursuant to 39 U.S.C. 505 

(Public Representative). Section II also

the Postal Service’s request(s), if any, 

can be accessed through compliance 

with the requirements of 39 CFR 

3007.40.
