s safety standards for protecting people and the environment from harmful effects of ionizing radiation. These standards provide a system of safety fundamentals, safety requirements, and safety guides reflecting an international consensus on what constitutes a high level of safety. The following IAEA safety guides or standards contain guidance and safety principles similar to those in this RG: • Safety Guide NS-G-1.5, “External Events Excluding Earthquakes in the Design of Nuclear Power Plants” (Ref. 16) • Safety Guide NS-G-1.6, “Seismic Design and Qualification for Nuclear Power Plants” (Ref. 17) • Safety Guide NS-G-2.6, “Maintenance, Surveillance and In-Service Inspections in Nuclear Power Plants” (Ref. 18) • Safety Guide NS-G-3.6, “Geotechnical Aspects of Site Evaluation and Foundations for Nuclear Power Plants” (Ref. 19) • Safety Report 70, Management System Standards “Comparison between IAEA GS-R-3 and ASME NQA-1-2008 and NQA-1a-2009 Addenda” (Ref. 20) Documents Discussed in Staff Regulatory Guidance This RG endorses, in part, the use of one or more codes or standards developed by external organizations, and 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 a 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 DG-1283, Page 8 neither been incorporated by reference into NRC regulations nor endorsed in a RG, then the secondary reference is neither a
