r power plants. o SRP Section 15.0.1, “Radiological Consequence Analyses Using Alternative Source Terms,” provides guidance to the NRC staff for reviewing the radiological consequence analyses for LWRs using ASTs. o SRP Section 15.0.3, “Design Basis Accident Radiological Consequences of Analyses for Advanced Light Water Reactors,” provides guidance to the NRC staff for reviewing the radiological consequence analyses for advanced LWRs. 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 NRC 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, 52 and 54 that are subject to the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501 et. seq.). These information collections were approved by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB), under control numbers 3150-0011, 3150-0151 and 3150-0155, respectively. Send comments regarding this information collection to the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA), Library, and Information Collections Branch ((T6-A10M), U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Washington, DC 20555 0001, or by e-mail to Infocollects.Resource@nrc.gov, and to the Desk Officer, Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs, NEOB-10202 (3150-0011, 3150-0151 and 3150-0155) Office of Management and Budget, Washington, DC, 20503.
