Regulatory guides are not substitutes for regulations and compliance with them is not required. This regulatory guide contains information collection requirements covered by 10 CFR Part 50 that the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) approved under OMB control number 3150-0011. The NRC may neither conduct nor sponsor, and a person is not required to respond to, an information collection request or requirement unless the requesting document displays a currently valid OMB control number. This regulatory guide is a rule as designated in the Congressional Review Act (5 U.S.C. 801- 808). However, OMB has not found it to be a major rule as designated in the Congressional Review Act. The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) has established a series of safety guides and standards constituting a high level of safety for protecting people and the environment. IAEA safety guides present international good practices and increasingly reflects best practices to help users striving to achieve high levels of safety. Pertinent to this regulatory guide, IAEA Safety Guide NS-G-1.10, “Design of Reactor Containment Systems for Nuclear Power Plants” (Ref. 3), addresses the requirements of management of radionuclides leaking through a containment of Nuclear Power Plants. Additionally, IAEA Safety Guide NS-G-2.7, “Radiation Protection and Radioactive Waste Management in the Operation of Nuclear Power Plants” (Ref. 4), provides recommendations as to how to develop radiation protection programs. IAEA Safety Standard NS-R-1, “Safety of Nuclear Power Plants: Design” (Ref. 5), addresses controlling the release of radioactive gases into the environment. The NRC has an interest in facilitating the harmonization of
