ency planning should include training emergency planning personnel on the use of instruments. It should also include periodic drills on the procedures. Arrangements should be made with Federal, State, and local agencies or other cognizant organizations for the prompt notification of the nuclear power plant when accidents involving hazardous chemicals have occurred within 5 miles of the plant. D. IMPLEMENTATION The purpose of this section is to provide information to licensees and applicants regarding the NRC staff’s plans for using this revised regulatory guide. Except in those cases in which an applicant or licensee proposes an acceptable alternative method for complying with specified portions of the NRC's regulations, the methods in this guide that reflects public comments will be used in the evaluation of submittals from operating reactor licensees who voluntarily propose modifications requiring a license amendment related to the control room habitability systems with regard to release of toxic chemicals. Licensees may make use of risk information when requesting a related license amendment. This guide will also be used to evaluate submittals in connection with applications for construction permits, operating licenses, and combined licenses, but not for license renewal if the current licensing basis is maintained. Operating reactor licensees may continue to use the traditional engineering approach for control room habitability evaluation. 1 Single copies of regulatory guides, both active and draft, may be obtained free of charge by writing the Reproduction and Distribution Services Section, OCIO, USNRC, Washington, DC 20555-0001, or by fax to (301)415-2289, or by email to <DISTRIBUTION@NRC.GOV>.
