7590-01 NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION INTERNATIONAL ATOMIC ENERGY AGENCY DRAFT SAFETY GUIDE Notice of Availability of Draft for Public Comment The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) is developing a limited number of internationally acceptable codes of practice and safety guices for nuclear power plants. These codes and guides will be developed in the following five areas: Government Organization, Siting, Design, Operation, and Quality Assurance. The purpose of these codes and guides is to provide IAEA guidance to countries beginning nuclear power programs.
The IAEA Codes of Practice and Safety Guides are developed in the following way. The IAEA receives and collates relevant existing information used by member countries. Using this collation as a starting point, an IAEA Working Group of a few experts then develops a preliminary draft. This preliminary draft is reviewed and modified by the IAEA Technical Review Committee to the extent necessary to develop a draft acceptable to them. This draft Code of Practice or Safety Guide is then sent to the IAEA renior Advisory, Group which reviews and modifies the draft as necessary to rea a agreement on the draft and then forwards it to the IAEA Secretariat to obtain comments from the Member States. The Senior Advisory Group then considers the Member State comments, again modifies the draft as necessary to reach agreement and forwards it to the IAEA Director General with a recommendation that it be accepted.
As part of this program, Safety Guide SG-G6, " Preparedness of Public Authorities for Emergencies at Nuclear Power Plants" and Safety Guide SG-06,
" Preparedness of the Operating Organization (Licensee) for Emergencies at Nuclear Power Plants" have been developed. A Working Group, consisting of Mr. J. H.
Aitken of Canada, Mr. H. C. Orchard of the United Kingdom, and Mr. W. Jeschki g2.\\o M3 Y

Belvin (Tennessee Valley Authority) of the United States of America, developed the initial draft of Safety Guide SG-06 from an IAEA collation during a meeting on January 30-February 10, 1978 The Working Group drafts of these Safety Guides were modified by the IAEA Technical Review Committees on Governmental Organization and Operation at regularly scheduled meetings during 1978 and 1979. The Senior Advisory Group subsequently reviewed and further modified these Guides at a meeting on December 10-14, 1979, and we are soliciting public comments on these modified drafts (SG-G6, Rev. 6, January 11,1980, and SG-06, Rev.10, December 12,1979).
Comments on these drafts received by July 16, 1980, will be useful to the U.S.
