NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION
Regulatory Guide; Issuance, Availability
The Nuclear Regulatory Commission has issued a new 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.
Regulatory Guide 1.189, ``Fire Protection for Operating Nuclear
Power Plants,'' has been developed to provide a comprehensive fire
protection guidance document and to identify the scope and depth of
fire protection that the NRC staff has determined to be acceptable for
operating nuclear 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,

Guide 1.189 has Accession Number ML010920084. Single copies of
