PREFACE This brochure describes in detail the file classification system for documents available from the Public Document Room (PDR), Office of the Secretary, U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC). As a public service branch of the NRC, the PDR makes readily available and easily accessible an extensive collection of unclassified documents related to the NRC's licensing and rulemaking activities.
The PDR collection, maintained in paper, microfiche, and electronic files, consists of a variety of agency documents, including NRC reports m the NUREG series, Weekly Information Reports, transcripts of Commission meetings, existing and proposed regulations and amendments, NRC licensing files and correspondence on technical, legal, regulatory, and policy matters. These documents are divided into two broad classes for ease of retrieval, docketed and non-docketed; each of these two classes is subdivided into more specific groups of document types. The PDR does not maintain collections of such formally published materials as books, monographs, serials, periodicals, or general indices that are usually available in a traditionallibrary.
The PDR classification scheme corresponds to the organization of information in the PDR's Accession List, Title List of Documents Made Publicly Available (NUREG-0540), and the public documents database in the online Bibliographic Retrieval System (BRS). Offsite users may request information on the use and purpose of these resources from the PDR reference librarians by calling (202) 634-3273 or 800-397-4209, sending a facsimile request to (202) 634-3343, or writing to the USNRC, Public Document Room, Washington, D.C. 20555-0001. Offsite users may also request information and order documents through the Internet, using the PDR E-Mail address PDR@NRC. GOV. Persons interested in detailed information about the PDR facilities and other available services should request the Public Document Room Users' Guide (NUREG/BR-0004, Rev. 2).

DOCKET FILES i
Each utility or institution engaged in a nuclear activity licensed and regulated by the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC)is assigned a docket number. As used by NRC, docket numbers refer to the particular system by which NRC maintains its regulatory records, not to law court dockets. The first two digits of a docket number identify the type of nuclear activity that NRC regulates. These docket categories are as follows:
27 - Low-level Radioactive Waste Disposal Sites 30 - Nuclear or Byproduct Material Licenses 40 - Nuclear Source Material Facilities 50 - Nuclear Reactors and Fuel Reprocessing Plants 52 - Standard Design Certifications, Early Site Permits, and Combined Licenses for Nuclear Power Plants 70 - Special Nuclear Materials 71 - Design of Packages for Transport of Radioactive Material and Quality Assurance Programs j
l 72 - Independent Spent Fuel Storage Installations Except for Docket 27, these numbers correspond to the parts of Title 10 in the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR) that cover regulations pertaining to those types of licenses. De remaining digits of a docket number uniquely identify a specific facility or institution. For example, Docket 50-317 identifies the Calvert Cliffs Nuclear Power Plant, Unit 1.
DOCKET 27-tm Level Radioactive Waste Disposal Sites The Docket 27 series contains documentation concerning the licensing of land disposal of low-level
)
radioactive wastes. In the past, waste disposal licensees were assigned unique Docket 27 numbers. Unlike the other docket series, the first two digits of these docket numbers do not correspond to the part of 10 CFR that specifies NRC's authority for issuing these licenses and the regulations that these licensees must follow. The Docket 27 licenses were issued in accordance with Parts 30,40, and 70 of 10 CFR in the absence of any final regulations governing the licensing of land disposal low-level radioactive wastes.
In the future, these licensing actions will be governed by 10 CFR Part 61, " Licensing Requirements for Land Dis posal of Radioactive Waste." The prefix will then become Docket 61 followed by assigned numbers : dentifying a specific facility. Documents in these files include:
Application for land disposal of low level radioactive waste and supporting documents o
o License and amendments Correspondence to and from the applicant regarding the application, license, and amendments o
Environmental report and supporting documents o
Inspection and enforcement reports and related correspondence o
Adjudicatory documents relating to proceedings before the licensing board and the Commission o
DOCKET 30-Byproduct Material Licenses The Docket 30 series contains documentation on the possession or use of nuclear byproduct materials for medical, industrial, and academic purposes. These documents are maintained in the PDR on microfiche only.
Documents in this series include:
Application for a license, license amendments, and license renewals or modifications to the e
byproduct materiallicense and related correspondence Denial, revocation, and suspension of a license and related correspondence o
Records related to the NRC inspection program and related correspondence e
Preliminary Notifications of Occurrences (PNOs), enforcement actions, civil penalties, and related e
correspondence Event reports, misadministration reports, and related correspondence e
Correspondence to and from local and State governments e
Adjudicatory documentation relating to proceedings before the Licensing Board and the Commission i
e Other technical, legal, and licensing correspondence between NRC, the licensee, and other interested e
parties Periodic reports from licensees and related correspondence e
DOCKET 40-Nuclear Source Material Facilities The Docket 40 series contains documentation concerning the domestic licensing of nuclear byproduct materials relating to source material licenses. Licenses issued in accordance with 10 CFR Part 40 cover the possession, use, and processing of ores (uranium and thorium) a id possession and use of uranium and thorium in a refined form. Each license application is assigned a unique Docket 40 number.
Paper files are maintained in the PDR for only those Docket 40 licensees involved in the nuclear fuel cycle; that is, mines, mills, and research and development facilities. Material on other licensees, such as those for possession of m: Trial for medical and industrial uses, are available on microfiche only.
Documents in these files itclude:
Application for a license, license amendments and license renewals for source material license e
Source material license and license amendments e
Licensee-issued Environmental Report (ER) for those license applications that must comply with the e
National Emironmental Policy Act (NEPA)
NRC issued Draft and Final Environmental Statements (DES and FES) for license applications that e
must comply with NEPA Site visits and related correspondence e
Inspection reports and related correspondence e
Environmental monitoring reports e
i
Adjudicatory documents and hearing transcripts relating to proceedings before the Licensing Board o
and the Commission o
Other technical, legal, and licensing correspondence between NRC, the licensee, and other interested parties NOTE: For transcripts of Commission meetings and papers submitted for Commission consideration on a specific docket, see the 10 CFR 9.7 and SECY non-docketed files.
DOCKET 50-Nuclear Reactors and Fuel Reprocessing Plants
. The Docket 50 series contains documentation concerning the domestic licensing of production and utilization facilities. Licenses issued in accordance with 10 CFR Part 50 cover commeicial nuclear power plants; experimental, research, and test reactors; and fuel fabrication facilities. The NRC staff assigns Docket 50 number when it considers that the application and the Preliminary Safety Analysis Report (PSAR) submitted are complete enough for staff review. "Predocketed" material is assigned a project number and is filed in the applicant's project file.
Because of the large volume of documentation accumulated over the lifetime of a facility, each Docket 50 file is subdivided into the following categories that pertain either to different aspects of the licensing process or to document types.
