The IAEA develops Safety Standards and Safety Guides for protecting people and the environment from harmful effects of ionizing radiation. Through a system of safety fundamentals, safety requirements, safety guides, and other relevant reports, the IAEA presents an international perspective on what constitutes a high level of safety. To inform the development of this RG, the NRC considered IAEA Safety Requirements and Safety Guides2 pursuant to the Commission’s International Policy Statement (Ref. 15) and Management Directive and Handbook 6.6 (Ref. 16). Specifically, the NRC staff considered the following IAEA Safety Guide in the development of this RG:  IAEA Safety Guide No. NS-G-3.1, “External Human Induced Events in Site Evaluation for Nuclear Power Plants,” 2002 (Ref. 17), which identifies, describes, and evaluates the hazards of explosions at or near nuclear power plants. Documents Discussed in Staff Regulatory Guidance This RG endorses the use of one or more codes developed by external organizations, and other third-party guidance documents. This code 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. If the secondary reference has neither been incorporated by
