DISCUSSION Reason for Revision This revision of the guide (Revision 2) updates the guidance on EMC practices and test methods that the staff of the NRC considers acceptable for qualifying safety-related I&C systems for the expected electromagnetic environment in nuclear power plants. The revised RG endorses the current versions of previously endorsed standards, incorporates additional guidance for evaluating the effects of electrostatic discharge, and accounts for the evolution of the operational environment at nuclear power plants arising from the increased use of digital technology, including wireless communication for both personal
