Public Protection Notification The NRC may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required to respond to, a collection of information unless the document requesting or requiring the collection displays a currently valid OMB control number. DG-1423, Page 5 B. DISCUSSION Reason for Revision The NRC is issuing Revision 7 of RG 1.101 to endorse and update guidance that is available to licensees and applicants on methods acceptable to the staff for complying with the NRC’s regulations for emergency response plans and preparedness at nuclear power reactors. This revision endorses: • Nuclear Energy Institute (NEI) white paper, “Enabling a Remote Response by Members of an Emergency Response Organization,” Revision 1, issued September 2024 (Ref. 14), and • NEI 99-01, Revision 7, “Development of Emergency Action Levels for Non-Passive Reactors,” issued September 2024 (Ref. 15). In addition, this revision of RG 1.101 provides guidance for maintaining compliance with ANS requirements when making significant ANS design changes. This RG also provides guidance on a method acceptable to justify a 24-month frequency for 10 CFR 50.54(t) emergency preparedness program reviews. 10 CFR 50.54(t) requires, in part, that licensees ensure that all program elements are reviewed by persons who have no direct responsibility for the implementation of the emergency preparedness program. These reviews must occur either 1) at intervals not to exceed 12 months or 2) as necessary, based on an assessment by the licensee against performance indicators, and as soon as reasonably practicable after a change occurs in personnel, procedures, equipment, or facilities that potentially could adversely affect emergency preparedness, but no longer than 12 months
