on the functional capability of the batteries. There are uncertainties re garding the processes and environmental factors that could result in such degradation. Because of these *Copies maybe obtained from the Institute of Electrical and Electron ics Engineers, IEEE Service Center, 445 Hoes Lane, P.O. Box 1331, Piscataway, NJ 08855. The guides are issued in the following ten broad divisions: 1, Power Reactors 2. Research and Test Reactors 3. Fuels and Materials Facilities 4. Environmental and Siting 5. Materials and Plant Protection 6. Products 7. Transportation 8. Occupational Health 9. Antitrust and Financial Review 10. General Copies of issued guides may be purchased from the Government Printing Office at the current GPO price. Information on current GPO prices may be obtained by contacting the Superintendent of Documents, U.S. Government Printing Office, Post Office Box 37082, Washington, DC 20013-7082, telephone (202)275-2060 or (202)275-2171.

U.S. NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION REGULATORY ( OFFICE OF NUCLEAR REGULATORY RESEARCH REGULATORY GUIDE 1.158 (Task EE 006-5) QUALIFICATION OF SAFETY-RELATED LEAD STORAGE BATTERIES FOR NUCLEAR POWER PLANTS The guides are issued in the following ten broad divisions: uncertainties, state-of-the-art preconditioning tech niques as outlined in IEEE Std 535-1986 are not capable of simulating all significant types of degrada tion. As the state of the art advances and uncertain ties are resolved, artificial preconditioning techniques may become more effective. Until such time, the NRC staff prefers natural pre-aging of safety-related batteries to the extent practicable. IEEE Std 535-1986 references other standards that contain valuable information. Those referenced standards not endorsed by a regulatory guide or in
