Content:
derations specific to the licensing processes in this framework. Applicability This RG applies to designers of non-LWRs and applicants for permits, licenses, certifications, and approvals under 10 CFR Part 50 and 10 CFR Part 52 for such reactors. Upon conclusion of the DG-1404, Revision 1, Page 2 rulemaking underway to amend 10 CFR Parts 50 and 52, the NRC may update this RG, if necessary, to conform to changes to Parts 50 and 52 adopted through that rulemaking. The NRC staff envisions that the approach in this RG will also support the technology-inclusive, risk-informed, and performance-based licensing framework that is now under development and currently designated as 10 CFR Part 53 (RIN 3150-AK31). The NRC staff plans to update this RG to reflect these regulations after a final rule is promulgated to reflect any additional guidance unique to the content of applications under those regulations.
