UNITED STATES NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION WASHINGTON, D.C. 20555-0001 October 7, 2016 MEMORANDUM TO: Brian E. Thomas, Director Division of Engineering Office of Nuclear Regulatory Research FROM: John D. Monninger, Director /RA/ Division of Safety Systems & Risk Assessment Office of New Reactors SUBJECT: RESULTS OF PERIODIC REVIEW OF REGULATORY GUIDE (RG) 1.217 This memorandum documents the US Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) periodic review of regulatory guide (RG) 1.217, “Guidance for the Assessment of Beyond-Design-Basis Aircraft Impacts.” The RG describes consideration of aircraft impacts for new nuclear power reactors, published in August 2011. In particular, this RG endorses the methodologies described in the industry guidance document, Nuclear Energy Institute (NEI) 07-13, “Methodology for Performing Aircraft Impact Assessments for New Plant Designs,” Revision 8, dated April 2011. As discussed in Management Directive 6.6, “Regulatory Guides,” the NRC staff reviews RGs approximately every 5 years to ensure that the RGs continue to provide useful guidance. Documentation of the NRC staff review is enclosed. Based on the results of the periodic review, the staff concludes that no changes to RG 1.217 Revision 0 are warranted. The staff did not identify any technical or regulatory issues in the review.
