ce that the NRC staff considers acceptable for use in selecting the design- basis hurricane windspeed and hurricane-generated missiles that a new nuclear power plant should be designed to withstand to prevent undue risk to public health and safety. • NUREG-0800, “Standard Review Plan for the Review of Safety Analysis Reports for Nuclear Power Plants: LWR Edition” (Ref. 11) (SRP), provides guidance to the NRC staff in its review of safety analysis reports submitted as part of a license application. • American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE)/Structural Engineering Institute (SEI) 37-14, “Design Loads on Structures during Construction” (Ref. 12), describes the minimum design requirements for construction loads, load combinations, and load factors affecting buildings and other structures that are under construction. It addresses partially completed structures as well as temporary support and access structures used during construction. The loads specified are suitable for use either with strength design criteria, such as ultimate strength design and load and resistance factor design (LRFD), or with allowable stress design criteria. The loads are applicable to all conventional construction methods Purpose of Regulatory Guides The NRC issues RGs to describe methods that are acceptable to the staff for implementing specific parts of the agency’s regulations, to explain techniques that the staff uses in evaluating specific issues or postulated events, and to describe information that the staff needs in its review of applications for permits and licenses. Regulatory guides are not regulations and compliance with them is not required. Methods and solutions that differ from those set forth in RGs are acceptable if supported by a basis for the issuance or continuance of a permit or license by the Commission. Paperwork Reduction Act This RG provides voluntary guidance for implementing the mandatory information collections in 10 CFR Parts 50 and 52 that are subject
