Applicability This RG applies to power reactors with light-water reactor (LWR) technology. The NRC staff also considers this RG to generally apply to other types of power reactors (i.e., non-LWRs). The NRC staff considers this guidance acceptable to support preparation of applications for early site permits (ESPs), design certifications (DCs), and combined licenses (COLs) under 10 CFR Part 52 and generally acceptable to support its review of other types of applications under 10 CFR Part 52. Applicable Rules and Regulations The following regulations are germane to the development of applications for Design Certifications, Early Site Permits, and Combined Operating Licenses: • 10 CFR Part 50, “Domestic Licensing of Production and Utilization Facilities” (Ref. 2). The regulations in this part provide for the licensing of production and utilization facilities pursuant to the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended and Title II of the Energy Reorganization Act of1974. • 10 CFR Part 51, “Environmental Protection Regulations for Domestic Licensing and Related Regulatory Functions” (Ref. 3). The regulations in this part set forth the activities and processes DG-1325, Page-2 for determining the potential environmental impact from the proposed action based on the requirements of the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) of 1969, as amended. • 10 CFR Part 52, “Licenses, Certifications, and Approvals for Nuclear Power Plants”. The regulations in this part govern the issuance of early site permits, standard design certifications, combined licenses, standard design approvals, and manufacturing licenses for nuclear power faciliites pursuant to the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended and Title II of the
