NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION
Draft Regulatory Guide and Draft Standard Review Plan; Issuance,
Availability
The Nuclear Regulatory Commission has issued for public comment a
draft of a regulatory guide 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 NRC'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.
The draft guide, temporarily identified as DG-1085 (which should be
mentioned in all correspondence concerning this draft guide), is
``Standard Format and Content of Decommissioning Cost Estimates for
Nuclear Power Reactors.'' DG-1085 is being developed to provide
guidance to licensees on the various cost estimates that are required
for different stages and methods of decommissioning nuclear power
reactors.
A conforming document, Draft NUREG-1713, ``Standard Review Plan for
Decommissioning Cost Estimates for Nuclear Power Reactors,'' is also
being issued for public comment. The NRC staff plans to use Draft
NUREG-1713 in their review of licensees' cost estimates for
decommissioning that are submitted to the NRC.
The NRC staff is soliciting comments on these draft documents and
will incorporate appropriate changes to these documents based on the
comments received.
This draft guide and draft standard review plan have not received
complete staff approval and do not represent an official NRC staff
position.
Comments may be accompanied by relevant information or supporting
data. Written comments may be submitted to the Rules and Directives
Branch, Office of Administration, U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission,
Washington, DC 20555. Copies of comments received may be examined at
the NRC Public Document Room, 11555 Rockville Pike, Rockville, MD.
Comments will be most helpful if received by January 30, 2002.
You may also provide comments via the NRC's interactive rulemaking
web site through the NRC home page (http://www.nrc.gov). This site
