E. Oesterle (301) 415-1365 DRAFT REGULATORY GUIDE DG-1145 COMBINED LICENSE APPLICATIONS FOR NUCLEAR POWER PLANTS (LWR EDITION)
A. INTRODUCTION The issuance of combined licenses for nuclear power plants is governed by Title 10, Part 52, of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR Part 52), Licenses, Certifications, and Approvals for Nuclear Power Plants (the Part 52 Rule), which specifies the information to be included in a combined license (COL) application.
The following general provisions, with the corresponding implementing regulations, apply to filing a COL application:
Any person, except one excluded by 10 CFR 50.38, may file a COL application for a nuclear power facility with the Director of the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC),
Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation (NRR) [10 CFR 52.75(a)].
The application must comply with the relevant filing requirements of 10 CFR 52.3 and 10 CFR 50.30 [10 CFR 52.75(b)].
The application must contain all of the information required by 10 CFR 50.33 [10 CFR 52.77].
DG-1145, Page A-2 The COL application is comprised of the various application items listed below.
The corresponding DG-1145 sections indicate where this draft regulatory guide provides guidance for preparing the required application items.
Application Item Corresponding DG-1145 Section Transmittal Letter (including oath and affirmation)
None Final Safety Analysis Report C.I.1-C.I.19, C.III.1, C.III.2 Inspections, Tests, Analyses, and Acceptance Criteria C.II.2, C.III.5, C.III.7 Probabilistic Risk Assessment C.II.1, C.III.1-Chapter 19 Environmental Report C.II.3, C.III.3 Security Plan C.I.13.6 General and Financial Information C.IV.5 Quality Assurance Program Description C.I.17.5 This regulatory guide applies to applications for combined licenses for nuclear power plants.
Applicants may submit their COL applications to the NRC in either paper format or electronically, as described in Section C.IV.2 of this guide.
The NRC issues regulatory guides to describe to the public methods that the staff considers acceptable for use in implementing specific parts of the agencys regulations, to explain techniques that the staff uses in evaluating specific problems or postulated accidents, and to provide guidance to applicants. Regulatory guides are not substitutes for regulations, and compliance with regulatory guides is not required. The NRC issues regulatory guides in draft form to solicit public comment and involve the public in developing the agencys regulatory positions. Draft regulatory guides have not received complete staff review and, therefore, they do not represent official NRC staff positions.
This regulatory guide contains information collections that are covered by the requirements of 10 CFR Parts 50 and 52, which the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) approved under OMB control numbers 3150-0011 and 3150-0151, respectively. 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.
