Related Guidance • RG 1.28, “Quality Assurance Program Criteria (Design and Construction)” (Ref. 3), describes methods the NRC staff considers acceptable for complying with the provisions of 10 CFR Part 50 and 10 CFR Part 52, which refer to 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix B, for establishing and implementing a QA program for the design and construction of nuclear power plants and fuel reprocessing plants. • RG 1.142, “Safety-Related Concrete Structures for Nuclear Power Plants (Other than Reactor Vessels and Containments)” (Ref. 4), provides guidance for the analysis, design, construction, testing, and evaluation of safety related nuclear concrete structures, excluding concrete reactor vessels and concrete containments. Purpose of Regulatory Guides The NRC issues RGs to describe to the public methods that the staff considers acceptable for use in implementing specific parts of the agency’s regulations, to explain techniques that the staff uses in evaluating specific problems or postulated events, and to provide guidance to applicants.
