Concrete structures around nuclear power plant

["Jacobus, John (OD/ORS)" <jacobusj@ors.od.nih.gov>]

With all the talk on the safety of nuclear facilities, I thought the

following would be of interest.

NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION

 

Regulatory Guide; Issuance, Availability



    The Nuclear Regulatory Commission has issued revisions of two 

guides in its Regulatory Guide Series. This series has been developed 

to describe and make available to the public such information as 

methods acceptable to the NRC staff for implementing specific parts of 

the Commission's regulations, techniques used by the staff in 

evaluating specific problems or postulated accidents, and data needed 

by the staff in its review of applications for permits and licenses.

    Revision 2 of Regulatory Guide 1.142, ``Safety-Related Concrete 

Structures for Nuclear Power Plants (Other than Reactor Vessels and 

Containments,'' provides guidance on methods acceptable to the NRC 

staff for complying with the NRC's regulations on the design, 

evaluation, and quality assurance of safety-related nuclear concrete 

structures, excluding concrete reactor vessels and concrete 

containments.

    Revision 2 of Regulatory Guide 1.143, ``Design Guidance for 

Radioactive Waste Management Systems, Structures, and Components 

Installed in Light-Water-

Cooled Nuclear Power Plants,'' provides guidance on methods acceptable 

to the NRC staff for complying with the NRC's regulations on the 

design, construction, installation, and testing the structures, 

systems, and components of radioactive waste management facilities in 

light-water-cooled nuclear power plants.

    Comments and suggestions in connection with items for inclusion in 

guides currently being developed or improvements in all published 

guides are encouraged at any time. Written comments may be submitted to 

the Rules and Directives Branch, Division of Administrative Services, 

Office of Administration, U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, 

Washington, DC 20555. Specific questions on the guides should be 

directed to Mr. H.L. Graves at (301) 415-5880, email HLG1@NRC.GOV.

    Regulatory guides are available for inspection or downloading at 

the NRC's web site at WWW.NRC.GOV> under Regulatory Guides and in NRC's 

Electronic Reading Room (ADAMS System) at the same site. Single copies 

of regulatory guides may be obtained free of charge by writing the 

Reproduction and Distribution Services Section, U.S. Nuclear Regulatory 

Commission, Washington, DC 20555-0001, or by fax to (301) 415-2289, or 

by email to DISTRIBUTION@NRC.GOV>. Issued guides may also be purchased 

from the National Technical Information Service on a standing order 

basis. Details on this service may be obtained by writing NTIS, 5285 

Port Royal Road, Springfield, VA 22161. Regulatory guides are not 

copyrighted, and Commission approval is not required to reproduce them.
