ide NS-G-1.6, “Seismic Design and Qualification for Nuclear Power Plants,” issued 2003 (Ref. 18) • Safety Guide NS-G-2.6, “Maintenance, Surveillance and In-service Inspections in Nuclear Power Plants,” issued 2002 (Ref. 19) • Safety Guide NS-G-3.6, “Geotechnical Aspects of Site Evaluation and Foundations for Nuclear Power Plants,” issued 2005 (Ref. 20) • Safety Report 70, Management System Standards: “Comparison between IAEA GS-R-3 and ASME NQA-1-2008 and NQA-1a-2009 Addenda,” issued 2012 (Ref. 21) Documents Discussed in Staff Regulatory Guidance This RG endorses, in part, the use of one or more codes or standards either developed by external organizations or found in other third-party guidance documents. These codes, standards, and third-party guidance documents may contain references to other codes, standards, or third-party guidance documents (“secondary references”). If a secondary reference has itself been incorporated by reference into NRC regulations as a requirement, then licensees and applicants must comply with that standard as set forth in the regulation. If the secondary reference has been endorsed in an RG as an acceptable approach for meeting an NRC requirement, then the standard constitutes a method acceptable to the NRC staff for meeting that regulatory requirement as described in the specific RG. If the secondary reference has neither been incorporated by reference into NRC regulations nor endorsed in an RG, then the secondary reference is neither a legally binding requirement nor a “generic” NRC-approved acceptable approach for meeting an NRC requirement. However, licensees and applicants may consider and use the information in the secondary reference, if appropriately justified, consistent with current regulatory practice and consistent with applicable NRC requirements. 1 Such information related to this guide may be found at www.IAEA.org or by writing the International Atomic Energy Agency, P.O.
