y Requirements and Safety Guides pursuant to the Commission’s International Policy Statement (Ref. 13) and Management Directive and Handbook 6.6, “Regulatory Guides” (Ref. 14).

The NRC continues to review information from IGALL program counterparts and to evaluate the need to make changes to the GALL Report and the GALL-SLR. The staff considered IAEA Safety Reports Series No. 82, “Ageing Management for Nuclear Power Plants: International Generic Ageing Lessons Learned (IGALL),” issued 2015 (Ref. 15), to identify any additional useful information. Documents Discussed in Staff Regulatory Guidance This RG endorses in part, the use of one or more codes or standards developed by external organizations (i.e., Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE), and other third party guidance documents. These codes, standards and third party guidance documents may contain references to other codes, standards or third party guidance documents (“secondary references”). If a secondary reference has itself been incorporated by reference into NRC regulations as a requirement, then licensees and applicants must comply with that standard as set forth in the regulation. If the secondary reference has been endorsed in a RG as an acceptable approach for meeting an NRC requirement, then the standard constitutes a method acceptable to the NRC staff for meeting that regulatory requirement as described in the specific RG.
