UNITED STATES NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION WASHINGTON, D.C. 20555-0001 October 28, 2015 MEMORANDUM TO: Brian E. Thomas, Director Division of Engineering Office of Nuclear Regulatory Research FROM: Richard Y. Lee, Chief /RA/ Fuel and Source Team Code Development Branch Division of Systems Analysis Office of Nuclear Regulatory Research SUBJECT: RESULTS OF PERIODIC REVIEW OF REGULATORY GUIDE (RG) 1.126 This memorandum documents the US Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) periodic review of regulatory guide (RG) 1.126, Revision 2, "An Acceptable Model and Related Statistical Methods for the Analysis of Fuel Densification.” This RG, which was last revised in 2010, provides guidance for use in predicting the effects of fuel densification in light-water-cooled nuclear power reactors. As discussed in Management Directive 6.6, “Regulatory Guides,” the NRC staff reviews RGs approximately every 5 years to ensure that the RGs continue to provide useful guidance. Documentation of the NRC staff review is enclosed. Based on the results of the periodic review, the staff concludes that no changes to RG 1.126 Revision 2 are warranted at this time. The staff did not identify any technical or regulatory issues in the review. Enclosure: As stated CONTACT: Harold Scott, RES/DSA/FSCB 301-415-1682 October 28, 2015 MEMORANDUM TO: Brian E.
