USNRC REGULATORY GUIDES Regulatory Guides are issued to describe and make available to the Public methods acceptable to the NRC staff of implementing specific parts of the Commission's regulations, to delineate tech- niques used by the staff in evaluating specific problems or postu- lated accidents, or to provide guidance to applicants. Regulatory Guides are not substitutes for regulations, and compliance with them is not required. Methods and solutions different from those set out in the guides will be acceptable if they provide a basis for the findings requisite to the issuance or continuance of a permit or license by the Commission. Comments and suggestions for improvements in these guides are encouraged at all times, and guides will be revised, as appropriate, to accommodate comments and to reflect new information or experience. This guide was revised as a result of substantive com- ments received from the Public and additional staff review. Comments should be sent to the Secretary of the Commission, U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Washington, D.C. 20555, Attention: Docketing and Service Branch.
