ports. The guide also incorporated relevant information from NUREG-1800, Revision 0, issued July 2001 (Ref. 16); and NUREG-1801, Revision 0, issued July 2001 Revision 0 (Ref. 17), as well as a summary of public comments received on those documents found in NUREG-1739, “Analysis of Public Comments on the Improved License Renewal Guidance Documents,” issued July 2001 (Ref. 18). Since the initial publication of RG 1.188 in July 2001, the staff has updated both NUREG-1800 and NUREG-1801 based on experience gained from numerous LRA reviews and other insights identified by the industry. Consequently, the staff also revised RG 1.188 to reflect updates to the guidance documents. The NRC staff found Revision 6 of NEI 95-10 acceptable for use in implementing the license renewal rule, without exceptions, as discussed in RG 1.188, Revision 1, issued September 2005 (Ref. 19). After issuance of RG 1.188, Revision 1, the nuclear power industry indicated interest in submitting applications to operate nuclear power plants for an additional 20 years beyond the initial license renewal period. As identified above in Section A of this RG, the NRC developed and published guidance documents on aging management programs that provide reasonable assurance of safe operation during operation from 60 to 80 years, in NUREG-2191 and NUREG-2192. Additionally, in December 2017, the staff issued NUREG-2221, “Technical Bases for Changes in the Subsequent License Renewal Guidance Documents NUREG-2191 and NUREG-2192” (Ref. 20), which provides the technical bases for the changes in the guidance documents from initial license renewal to subsequent license renewal. The staff also issued NUREG-2222, “Disposition of Public Comments on the Draft Subsequent License Renewal Guidance Documents NUREG-2191, and NUREG-2192,” in December 2017 (Ref. 21), which provides the disposition of the public comments on the draft guidance documents for subsequent license renewal. Concurrently, the industry
